Heart valve disease (HVD) is a significant concern in athletes due to its potential impact on cardiovascular performance and the increased risk of sudden cardiac events during intense physical activity. This article provides a comprehensive review of the risk assessment and management of HVD in athletes, highlighting the clinical considerations unique to this population. A systematic approach to diagnosis, risk stratification, and decision-making for return to play is essential for optimizing the outcomes of athletes with HVD.
