Education & Research on VHD

ESC Council on Valvular Heart Disease

Educational and research resources on valvular heart disease, including slides and abstracts from past and future courses, meetings, congresses and registries/studies.

Advances in imaging techniques, newly available percutaneous treatments, emphasis on the role of the heart team, and a growing pool of patients due to the ageing population means that valvular heart disease is now at the centre of developments in cardiovascular medicine and surgery.  The quantity and quality of published evidence in this area is growing rapidly, while patients themselves often present challenging clinical scenarios requiring multidisciplinary expertise in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.

Pregnancy and Heart Disease Registry

This survey is designed to assess the management and outcome of pregnancy in patients with structural heart disease (mainly congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathy).

This survey has been developed and the case record form designed by a collaboration of the GUCH Working Group and the former Working Group on Valvular Heart Disease.
