A New Interpretation of Flint's Mitral Direct or Presystolic Murmur without Mitral Lesions

Presystolic murmur of mitral stenosis revisited.

Presystolic mitral regurgitation.

A case of mild to moderate aortic regurgitation with presystolic closure of mitral valve and presystolic mitral regurgitation is reported. This echocardiographic finding is a reliable marker of significantly increased LV end-diastolic pressure.

Presystolic murmur in atrial fibrillation.

tI he lollowing eschange was aicepted tor publication in October l976. Due to space constraints relating to submission of original airticles its publication had to be delayed. To the Editor: Doctors Tavel and Bonner in their recent editorialt have advanced a detailed and compelling refutation of the concept that a presystolic murmur can occur in mitral stenosis with atrial fihrilla-tion. We wel...

The apical systolic murmur in mitral stenosis.

The purpose of this work was to determine how reliable a guide an apical systolic murmur can be to the finding at mitral valvotomy of incidental mitral regurgitation complicating dominant mitral stenosis. The history of the systolic murmur in mitral stenosis is a confused one, since general agreement was not reached about the timing of systolic and diastolic murmurs in mitral stenosis for nearl...

Results of mitral valve repair in rheumatic mitral lesions.

BACKGROUND We compared results for repairs of rheumatic pure mitral regurgitation (MR) and mixed mitral stenosis (MS) and MR during early and midterm time intervals. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 173 patients (mean age 47.6 +/- 15.1 years; 64 males) who underwent surgery for rheumatic heart disease during the period from January 1998 to June 2008. According to transvalvular mitral gradi...
