AB  - Degenerative  valvular  heart  disease  (VHD)  is  expected  to  grow  in  prevalence  as  the  population  ages.  Based  on  pooled  US  population  studies  of  adults  who  underwent  echocardiography  from  1989  to  1996,  the  prevalence  of  VHD  is  2.5%  and  the  burden  of  moderate  or  severe  left-sided  VHD  increases  with  age:  65  years,  and  13.2%  in  those  aged  >75  years.  A  more  contemporary  cross-sectional  study  of  2500  individuals  ≥65  years  old  enrolled  from  a  primary  care  population  in  the  United  Kingdom  and  published  in  2016  estimates  the  prevalence  of  moderate  or  severe  VHD  at  11.3%.  Mitral  regurgitation  (MR)  and  aortic  stenosis  (AS)  are  the  most  common  VHDs  in  older  adults.
