摘要
Valvular heart disease affects patients of all ages, with the highest incidence in patients older than 75 years. The nurse practitioner, whether in the primary or acute care setting, plays a vital role in the detection, monitoring, and shared decisions in treatment options. Assessment skills in conjunction with appropriate testing can identify patients early in the trajectory of the disease. The purpose of this article is to provide tips for history-taking and physical exam techniques, identify appropriate diagnostic testing, and review treatment options for adults with valvular heart disease.
