ESC Congress 2025 - Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Canada) sits down with Professor Michael Borger (University of Leipzig Heart Center, Germany), Co-Chair of the newly released 2025 ESC/EACTS Guidelines for the Management of Valvular Heart Disease.

The new guidelines bring together the latest evidence and expert consensus on how to diagnose, evaluate, and treat patients with valvular heart disease. They build on previous editions, adding insights from recent clinical trials and advances in both surgical and transcatheter therapies to help clinicians make the best decisions for their patients.

In this conversation, Dr Van Spall and Prof Borger walk through the main updates, highlight what’s most relevant for daily practice, and share practical take-home messages for the care of patients with valve disease.

Recorded remotely from Hamilton, CA and Leipzig, DE.
