“…According to the clinical context and the grade of regurgitation, appropriate monitoring will be delivered. 5,9,10 Cardiac magnetic resonance CMR adds important advantages to the assessment of native valvular regurgitation (provides a view of the entire heart without limitations of body habitus or imaging windows, allows free choice of imaging planes, is free of ionizing radiation, does not require contrast administration). 11 This becomes particularly relevant when uncertainty exists as to the severity or aetiology of regurgitant valve lesions particularly in the presence of eccentric valve lesions, multiple regurgitant jets, right-sided valve lesions, and in patients with poor echocardiographic windows.…”

Valvular regurgitation represents an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Imaging is pivotal in the evaluation of native valve regurgitation and echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for this purpose. The imaging assessment of valvular regurgitation should integrate quantification of the regurgitation, assessment of the valve anatomy and function, and the consequences of valvular disease on cardiac chambers. In clinical practice, the management of patients with valvular regurgitation largely relies on the results of imaging. It is crucial to provide standards that aim at establishing a baseline list of measurements to be performed when assessing native valve regurgitation. The present document aims to present clinical guidance for the multi-modality imaging assessment of native valvular regurgitation.

“…The relationship between the case volume and outcome of surgery and transcatheter interventions is complex, and the precise number of procedures per individual operator or hospital required to provide high-quality care remains controversial, as inequalities exist between high- and middle-income countries [ 102 ]. Furthermore, these data come from retrospective registries, suggesting that the thresholds may be too low in current practice [ 100 ]. For this reason, the ability to obtain good results is more important than mandating volume targets.…”

Valvular heart disease is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and a major contributor of symptoms and functional disability. Knowledge of valvular heart disease epidemiology and a deep comprehension of the geographical and temporal trends are crucial for clinical advances and the formulation of effective health policy for primary and secondary prevention. This review mainly focuses on the epidemiology of primary (organic, related to the valve itself) valvular disease and its management, especially emphasizing the importance of heart valve centers in ensuring the best care of patients through a multidisciplinary team.

The growing burden of valvular heart disease in Western countries represents a challenge for the daily clinical practice, especially in the light of the ever-increasing number of therapeutic options. The Euro Heart Survey showed that, among elderly subjects with severe, symptomatic valve dysfunction, surgery is denied for 33% of patients with aortic stenosis and for 50% of patients with mitral regurgitation. Current management (from diagnosis to follow-up) is often fragmented in multiple-sometimes unnecessary-steps. Such a "patchy" approach may translate into a suboptimal management, especially in the geriatric population. New healthcare models exist that can coordinate care, reduce fragmentation, limit costs and, ultimately, improve outcomes: the clinical pathways.
