OxVALVE
The OxVALVE study is based in Oxfordshire in the UK. Our study has two aims: firstly, to identify people with Valvular Heart Disease and hence to establish its incidence within the population. Secondly, by further investigation we hope to develop improved treatment strategies for Valvular Heart Disease.
Information for Participants
The main purpose of the OxVALVE study is to identify people with previously undiagnosed Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), and hence to establish its prevalence within the population.
