Cardiac Valvular Medicine

Experimental studies in the field of cardiac valve biology are now demonstrating that the cardiac valve disease process is an active biology with risk factors analogous to vascular risk factors.� Understanding the risk factors is also evolving rapidly, giving physicians and scientists insight into t...
