As a diagnostic modality, echocardiography is not only the cornerstone of the entire clinical management of patients with valvular heart disease, but is also a guide to all current nosological perspectives on valve diseases.

Although the echocardiography corpus in this field might seem complete, the technique is constantly being updated due to technological advances and the continual transformation of health care practice, making it an active field of research, development, and innovation. Various areas have produced notable advances in the last year.
