Overview
Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation remain under-recognised and undertreated despite their significant impact on symptoms, quality of life, and outcomes. In this expert-led webinar, Suzanne V. Arnold, MD (Saint Luke’s Health System, Kansas City, US) offers practical guidance on recognising heart valve disease early, navigating referral pathways, and integrating patient-centred data into everyday cardiology practice.
The session opens with a focus on identifying symptoms and understanding when to refer to a heart team, highlighting gaps in diagnosis and treatment. Dr Arnold then explores how untreated mitral and tricuspid regurgitation can affect prognosis and quality of life, with a detailed look at available medical, surgical, and transcatheter therapies.
A key feature of this webinar is the use of real-world quality-of-life and patient preference data. Suzanne V. Arnold, MD (Saint Luke’s Health System, Kansas City, US) shares how general cardiologists can use these insights to hold meaningful shared decision-making conversations that improve engagement and treatment satisfaction.
Designed for general cardiologists and heart team members, this session offers clinical context, practical tools, and actionable strategies to improve outcomes in valve disease care. A live Q&A will provide the opportunity to explore key issues with the faculty.

This webinar is supported by Edwards Lifesciences. All speakers are paid consultants of Edwards Lifesciences.
