Summary
Valvular diseases are classified either as obstructing outflow (i.e., stenosis) or inadequately closing/coapting (i.e., regurgitation). Many mild–moderate valve lesions exist in a compensated or well-tolerated state; the tenets of hemodynamic management become particularly important in the severe or acute setting.
