Valve for Life Initiative
Goal: Improving transcatheter valve interventions (TAVI) across Europe
This initiative was launched in four pilot countries: Poland, France, Portugal and United Kingdom.
This initiative launched mid-2015 aims to improve transcatheter valve interventions (both aortic and mitral) across Europe in order to:
- Raise awareness on the importance of valvular heart disease in the general population
- Facilitate access to novel therapies such as transcatheter heart valve interventions
- Raise educational standards, reduce obstacles to therapy implementation
- Diminish age and gender discrimination in access to care.
