HVSA (including the Heart Valve Trialists Society) was founded by a group of nationally and internationally recognized American experts in heart valve diseases to advance recognition and knowledge of the field.

HVSA will:

• promote research;
• educate medical professionals about the evaluation and treatment of heart valve diseases;
• serve as an informational resource for government, private industry, healthcare providers, the media and public; and,
• encourage and facilitate education of future heart valve disease specialists.
