title: [Practical approach of cardiac valvulopathies].
abstract: In the light of the recommendations published in 2012 by the European Society of Cardiology, the present article provides a review of the assessment, diagnosis and drug therapy of frequent cardiac valvular disease in adults. Congenital valvular heart disease, as well as pathology of the pulmonary valve and tricuspid stenosis, which are less frequent, will not be discussed here.
