An emergency physician's guide to prosthetic heart valves: valve-related complications
Abstract
Serious valve-related complications that occur in patients with prosthetic valves have been discussed. The emergency physician's role primarily is to recognize the high probability that one of these serious complications exists and hospitalize the patient so that rapid definitive diagnoses and therapeutic decisions are not delayed.
