AB A  thorough  understanding  of  the  cardiovascular  hemodynamics  of  valvular  heart  disease  is  essential  to  the  medical,  interventional,  and/or  surgical  management  of  patients  with  heart  valve  disease.  Understanding  the  pathophysiology  of  valvular  heart  disease  requires  knowledge  of  normal  cardiovascular  hemodynamics,  the  dynamic  nature  of  those  hemodynamics,  and  how  abnormalities  of  hemodynamics  affect  overall  heart  function.  This  chapter  describes  in  detail  the  cardiovascular  hemodynamics  of  valvular  heart  disease,  enabling  the  reader  to  understand  the  pathophysiology  of  valvular  heart  disease.
