Pulmonary microvascular permeability in patients with severe mitral stenosis.
Patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis often have no pulmonary oedema despite considerably increased pulmonary venous pressure. Pulmonary microvascular permeability was measured non-invasively by a previously validated method of double isotope scintigraphy with indium-113m and technetium-99m. This permits calculation of an index reflecting transferrin efflux and thus, indirectly, the microvasc...
متن کاملImmediate Results of Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
Introduction: Mitral stenosis is a prevalent valvular disease in developing countries. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the gold standard treatment. The main objective of this study was to assess the initial results of PMBV in patients with mitral stenosis during 16 years (2002-2018) in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods: From April 2002 to March 2018, 770 patients underwen...
متن کاملEndothelin production in pulmonary circulation of patients with mitral stenosis.
BACKGROUND Although plasma endothelin concentrations are elevated in patients with pulmonary hypertension, the precise sites of endothelin production have not been defined. We investigated the endothelin production in the pulmonary circulation of patients with mitral stenosis and its effects on pulmonary vascular tone. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured plasma concentrations of endothelin-1, ang...
متن کاملDisseminated nodular pulmonary ossification in patients with mitral stenosis.
IN RECENT YEARS clinicians have had to think of histoplasmosis as well as tuberculosis when confronted with diffuse nodular calcific shadows in the lung parenchyma. Disseminated bone formation in the lung is rare, though a form associated with mitral stenosis has been recognized for many years. It is our purpose to review our experience with 4 eases of disseminated bone formation in mitral sten...
متن کاملEHRCT is superior to the pulmonary function test at showing small airway disease in patients with isolated mitral valve stenosis
Introduction: We investigated whether expiratory high resolution computed tomography (EHRCT) is superior to the pulmonary function test (PFT) in showing small airway disease (SAD) in patients with isolated mitral valve stenosis (MVS). Methods: Sixty patients contributed to the study prospectively. Cases were divided into three groups (mild, moderate, severe) on the basis of MVS and PAP. Results...
