Sex differences in valvular heart disease (VHD) represent an emerging focus in cardiovascular imaging, with implications spanning aetiology, pathophysiology, chamber remodelling, and prognosis. This review aims to illustrate how multimodality imaging can be applied to address sex-specific differences in VHD, with the goal of improving disease grading, staging of extra-valvular cardiac damage, and risk stratification across the whole VHD spectrum.

Abstract
Sex differences in valvular heart disease (VHD) represent an emerging focus in cardiovascular imaging, with implications spanning aetiology, pathophysiology, chamber remodelling, and prognosis. This review aims to illustrate how multimodality imaging can be applied to address sex-specific differences in VHD, with the goal of improving disease grading, staging of extra-valvular cardiac damage, and risk stratification across the whole VHD spectrum.
