Valvular heart disease is a common problem affecting thousands of people each year. Careful bedside
assessment can accurately define the valve affected and the severity of disease (stenosis or regurgitation).
Further assessment involves the EKG, chest x-ray, and most importantly, the echocardiogram. Rarely,
cardiac catheterization is needed for diagnosis. The above diagnostics along with signs, symptoms, and
treatment of each valvular disease will be summarized below. A detailed discussion of each disease is
presented seperately (click links to the right).
