The role of multi-modality imaging in multiple valvular heart diseases: a clinical consensus statement of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging of the European Society of Cardiology
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging
Abstract
With this document, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging provides an Expert Consensus on the role of multi-modality imaging (MMI) in the management of patients with multiple valvular heart disease (MVD). Emphasis is given to the use of MMI to unravel the diagnostic challenges that characterize these patients and to improve risk stratification. Complementing the last European Society of Cardiology and European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery guidelines on valvular heart disease, this Expert Consensus document also outlines how MMI assessment should form an integral part of the multi-disciplinary heart team discussion for patients with MVD to help with complex decision-making regarding the choice and timing of treatment.
