Although valvular heart disease (VHD) is less common in industrialized countries than coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, or hypertension, guidelines are of interest in this field because VHD is frequent and often requires intervention.

These guidelines focus on acquired VHD, are oriented towards management, and do not deal with endocarditis or congenital valve disease, including pulmonary valve disease, since recent guidelines have been produced by the ESC on these topics.

Guidelines er godkendt af DCS 10/1 2013. Hvor der er kommentarer, afvigende dansk tradition samt forslag til forbedringer, er bemærkningerne knyttet til et nummer og en sidehenvisning. Dette nummer genfindes på relevant plads i den engelsksprogede udgave af guidelines.
