  • For each valvular heart disease, numbers and percentages of cases with concomitant comorbidities, defined by International Classification of Diseases codes, are shown. The numbers and percentages in the total population are also shown for comparison. AS, aortic stenosis; AR, aortic regurgitation; MS, mitral stenosis; MR, mitral regurgitation; PS, pulmonary stenosis; PR, pulmonary regurgitation; TS, tricuspid stenosis; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.
