Aortic valve disease is the most common acquired valvular disease and most often requiring surgical valve replacement in our environment. In this chapter the latest scientific contributions in the field of cardiac imaging in this disease (echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and cardiac computed tomography) are reviewed. Some of them have aroused large and lively debates in forums in recent years. These contributions have forced us to rethink some diagnostic criteria, and the management of this disease as well.
