Valvular heart disease Microchapters |
Overview
Classification
Valvular heart diseases are typically classified according to the valve that is affected as well as the nature of the pathological defect as follows:
Differential Diagnosis
Clinicians may differentiate among different valvular heart diseases on the basis of the characteristics of the murmur and collecting a thorough patient history, as shown in the following table:
