Valvular diseases
From Pharmpedia
Opening and closure of cardiac valves is studied with echocardiography. This is a versatile non-invasive technique used by cardiologists. When valvular diseases cause the valves to open too little (stenosis) or not close firmly enough (insufficiency), the function of the heart is severely impaired.
Valvular disorders are treated in Chapters 10 and 12.
