Abstract

Valvular heart disease poses a significant health burden in the Asia-Pacific region, with its epidemiology varying widely across countries caused by diverse socioeconomic and health care situations. Rheumatic heart disease remains prevalent, especially in low- to middle-income areas, while degenerative valvular diseases are emerging in developed regions caused by an aging population. Significant disparities in access to health care and intervention result in variable clinical outcomes. In the past decade, transcatheter interventions have revolutionized the management of patients with valvular heart disease globally. In the Asia-Pacific region, the uptake and development of transcatheter valvular interventions has been slow until recent years. Continued collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region is essential to mitigate the impact of the upcoming surge of valvular heart disease in this diverse and rapidly changing area.

亚太地区瓣膜性心脏病流行病学研究。

瓣膜性心脏病在亚太地区造成了重大的健康负担，由于不同的社会经济和卫生保健状况，其流行病学在各国之间差异很大。风湿性心脏病仍然很普遍，特别是在低收入和中等收入地区，而人口老龄化导致的退行性瓣膜疾病正在发达地区出现。在获得保健和干预方面的巨大差距导致临床结果不一。在过去的十年中，经导管介入已经彻底改变了全球瓣膜性心脏病患者的管理。在亚太地区，经导管瓣膜干预的采用和发展一直缓慢，直到最近几年。整个亚太地区的持续合作对于减轻即将到来的瓣膜性心脏病在这一多样化和快速变化的地区激增的影响至关重要。
