The HVS Mitral Tricuspid Valve Database is intended to provide a unique database for health care organizations and institutions that take care of patients with mitral and tricuspid valve disease who undergo surgical or transcatheter interventions. Participation in the HVS Mitral Tricuspid Valve Database is voluntary, and all health care institutions and organizations choosing to participate are required to sign a Participation Agreement, a Data Transfer Agreement and/or Clinical Site Trial Agreement and agree to the Protocol regarding data submission and patient confidentiality. To propose a project, health care institutions and organizations must fill out and submit a Project Application Form for approval by the Scientific Committee.

The HVS Mitral Tricuspid Valve Database is not intended to replace medical advice and treatment. It is a resource for research, education and information sharing among the participants.

The HVS owns and manages the multicentric database and any multicentric publication validated by the Scientific Committee. The participating health care institutions and organizations are responsible for the accuracy and quality of their own data and materials. The opinions and views of one participating health care institution and organization do not necessarily reflect the opinions and views of the HVS Mitral Tricuspid Valve database and Valve Research Network from HVS.
