Aortic valve disease

Guy Lloyd (a consultant cardiologist in Eastbourne) talks to Gerry McCann (a cardiologist in Leicester) and John Chambers (president of the British Heart Valve Society) about aortic valve disease.

They discuss stratifying cases by risk, myocardial fibrosis, the various assessments available, whether clinicians should be looking more to prescribe ACE inhibitors, and how best valve service should be configured.
