This review article summarizes current perspectives regarding the use of exercise echocardiography in diagnosing heart valve disease, particularly in asymptomatic, already hemodynamically significant heart valve disease where these tests may help to make a decision regarding future therapeutic options and timely surgical management.
The paper examines the potential uses of exercise testing in individual, most frequent types of heart valve disease in adult age.

Keywords: Exercise testing; Stress echocardiography; Mitral stenosis; Mitral regurgitation; Aortic stenosis; Aortic regurgitation; Prosthetic valves
