Optimizing Management and Outcomes for Patients with Valvular Heart Disease

This project aims to characterize the management and outcomes of valvular heart disease for patients within Kaiser Permanente Northern California. It will include evaluation of surveillance patterns for moderate and severe valve disease, assessment of clinical outcomes in those with guideline-recommended surveillance, development of methods to ensure evidence-based follow-up and subsequent therapy for patients, and calculation of contemporary estimates for the natural history of disease for the most prevalent valvular heart conditions.
