ABSTRACT
The optimal management of heart valve disease (HVD) is still debated and many studies are underway to identify the best time to refer patients for the most appropriate treatment strategy (either conservative, surgical or transcatheter interventions). Exercise pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be detected during exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) and has been demonstrated to have an important prognostic role in HVD, by predicting symptoms and mortality. This review article aims to provide an overview on the prognostic role of exercise PH in valvulopathies, and its possible role in the diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for the management of HVD.
