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.
