Abstract
Valvular heart disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of significant (moderate or severe) valve disease in westernized populations is estimated at about 1.8% of the total population. However, rates increase with age, and the prevalence will increase as the population ages[1] (table 1).
