MTP 003

Clinical questions to be addressed:
What are the indications for valve replacement in the regurgitant lesions (e.g., aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation)?
What are the indications for valve replacement in aortic stenosis?
What is the approach to the asymptomatic patient with aortic stenosis?
Can medical therapy (e.g., statins, ACE inhibitors) delay the progression of aortic stenosis?
Update on mitral valve prolapse.
Management of the asymptomatic patient with severe mitral regurgitation. Update on percutaneous valve procedures (i.e., percutaneous treatment of mitral regurgitation, percutaneous aortic valve replacement).
Discuss the updated 2006 ACC/AHA valvular heart disease?
