Duke University’s Valvular Heart Disease Program is one of the largest programs of its kind in the country and has achieved national recognition.

It encompasses a large outpatient and inpatient service that treats all forms of valvular heart disease and operates in concert with the Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension programs.

The program is part of the Division of Cardiology, the Division of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, and the Duke Heart Center.

The program employs the latest tools and techniques for diagnosis and repair of diseased valves and offers the latest medical therapies for heart failure associated with valvular disease.

Duke pioneered the catheter-based treatment of valvular heart disease, and continues to advance this field with new techniques for valve repair.
