Reduced left ventricular compliance in human mitral stenosis. Role of reversible internal constraint.
BACKGROUND The mechanisms of depressed left ventricular (LV) pump performance in human mitral stenosis (MS) remain poorly understood, because reduced filling alone affects many hemodynamic measurements. Therefore, pressure-volume relations were examined in nine subjects with MS and compared with eight age-matched normal controls. METHODS AND RESULTS Data were obtained by conductance catheter/...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in rheumatic mitral stenosis.
Haemodynamic factors contributing to clinical disability in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis have been under discussion and investigation for decades. Prior to the development of left heart catheterization, a low cardiac output in the presence of little or no pulmonary hypertension was taken as evidence for a myocardial 'insufficiency'. With the use of left heart catheterization, it was ...
متن کاملRIGHT VENTRICULAR FATTY INFILTRATION IN MITRAL STENOSIS, A RARE CAUSE OF SURGICAL FAILURE.
A 47 year-old female died after mitral valve replacement. Post-cardiopulmonary bypass right ventricle was not able to pump despite good left ventricular contractility. At microscopic examination, diffuse right ventricular fatty infiltration was found. We found no previous report of this pathology in patients with mitral stenosis
متن کاملan unusual case of mitral stenosis with coronary ar- tery and left ventricular apical aneurysm
the left ventricular aneurysm is one of the most significant complications of myocardial infarction and is defined as the expansion of the ventricular wall. the coronary artery aneurysm is characterized by an abnormal dilation of the localized portion of the coronary artery, and its main cause is atherosclerosis. we herein report an unusual case of coronary artery and left ventricular aneurysms...
متن کاملMitral stenosis with high left ventricular diastolic pressure.
Three patients with mitral stenosis are described, in whom the haemodynamic findings at cardiac catheterisation were more suggestive of left ventricular myocardial disease, in that the left ventricular diastolic pressure was high and the mitral valve gradient small. However, their echocardiograms showed abnormal wall movement during diastole characteristic of severe inflow obstruction, with slo...
