(c) Mitral valve calcification is important only in that it predisposes to operative emboli. (d) Atrial appendag...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension in mitral valve disease: 56 surgical patients reviewed.
A total of 392 patients have undergone prosthetic valve surgery including the mitral valve over a four-year period (1972-76). Of these patients 56 (14%) had a pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 70 mmHg or more during preoperative cardiac catheterisation and the hospital mortality of this group was 5.4%. Similarly, the hospital mortality of the remaining 336 patients with a pulmonary artery p...
متن کاملMitral valve prolapse and borderline hypertension.

The IMVP population had a fas...
