Abstract

The multifaceted nature of valvular heart disease in the setting of transcatheter therapy development has propelled a transformation in the diagnosis and care of these complex patients and disease states. What once was a subset of cardiovascular care now warrants program development and design to meet the spectrum of needs. As a relatively young endeavor, much of the structure is based upon precedents embedded in research and heart failure care processes, the evolution of which has necessitated a comprehensive pathway of patient screening, evaluation, and treatment. Optimal outcomes require a coordinated system of care.
