Abstract
- Cardiovascular disease encompasses coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease, and the prevalence of both increases with age. Over the past decade, the landscape of interventional cardiology has evolved to encompass a new set of percutaneous procedures outside the coronary tree, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation, transcatheter mitral valve repair, and left atrial appendage occlusion. These interventions have sparked a new discipline within interventional cardiology referred to as structural heart disease (SHD) intervention. The access to and numbers of such procedures performed in Canada is currently unknown. This "first of its kind" survey of structural interventions provides insight into the landscape of SHD intervention in Canada and the challenges faced by cardiologists to deliver this important care.
