Collaborate with a Multidisciplinary Heart Valve Team to get your patients the intervention they need

The 2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Valvular Heart Disease recommends that all patients with symptomatic severe heart disease be evaluated by a Multidisciplinary Heart Valve Team when intervention is considered.¹ Collaborative, multidisciplinary heart teams are also strongly recommended by the 2019 Canadian Cardiac Society (CCS) Position Statement and the 2021 ESC/EACTS Guidelines. Heart Valve Centers can help optimize patient outcomes through improved decision-making and matching of patients to providers with appropriate expertise, experience, and resouces.¹

The Heart Team depends on your valuable input and your patient benefits as you and the Heart Team collaborate to provide a personalized treatment pathway, from evaluation, imaging, therapy, to follow up. As underscored by the ACC/AHA, CCS, and ESC/EACTS, the Multidisciplinary Heart Valve Team helps present the patient with all appropriate treatment options in a balanced manner, using tools and techniques for shared decision-making in which patient preferences are considered.¹ You can feel confident with the informed, guideline-based, multidisciplinary assessment your patient will receive.
