Valvular Medicine is a textbook which represents an overview of recent discoveries and scientific contributions in the field of valvular heart disease. The book is designed to update cardiologists, internists, family practice physicians, cardiac surgeons, and basic scientists regarding the most recent science, clinical trials, and new discoveries in the field of valvular heart disease. For decades, cardiac valve lesions have been thought to be due to a degenerative process, which has been for years described as “a wear and tear phenomena”; however experimental studies in the field of cardiac valve biology have demonstrated that this disease process is an active biology.
