Abstract
The diagnostic assessment of the severity of valvular heart disease in the older population is impacted by the anatomic and physiologic changes that accompany normal aging and by the interposition of diseases prevalent in the elderly. In this paper, the impact of those changes on the assessment of valvular heart disease will be reviewed. Special attention will be paid to the effects of age and disease on the measurement of the pressure drop and orifice area.
