This valuable handbook examines those aspects of valvular diseases that are most important to the working clinician. To do this, it summarizes the current understanding of the relevant scientific literature and is based on the author's practical experience in managing innumerable patients. The handbook examines how valve diseases undermine the performance of the heart as a pump. It explains mitral valve replacement for the predominant mitral regurgitation (MR), aortic regurgitation (AR), left ventricular (LV) contractile abnormalities, and valve replacement.
