Narrowing or hardening of the arteries in the heart is a common problem and can lead to heart attack and angina. Modern treatments include unblocking the arteries with balloons and stents or bypassing them during cardiac surgery. Such treatments usually return the patient to normal health and often improve life expectancy.

Narrowing and leaking of the valves of the heart is common and can markedly limit the patients ability to exercise. Treatments are now available to stretch valves with balloons or surgically repair or replace them.
