Nonrheumatic Mitral Insufficiency
نویسنده
چکیده
Twenty patients with mitral insufficiency (MI) due to ruptured chordae tendineae, papillary muscle infarction, or left ventricular enlargement with no organic disease of the mitral valve have been studied during the past 3 years. Nineteen had valve replacement, and one had plastic repair of ruptured chordae tendineae; all have been followed from 6 months to 3 years. Preoperative data were different in those who

Angiographic features of rheumatic and nonrheumatic mitral regurgitation.
Left ventricular cineangiography was performed in 37 patients with mitral regurgitation. Twenty-one patients had rheumatic mitral valve disease determined by careful surgical and pathologic examination, 10 had papillary muscle dysfunction, and six had chordae tendineae rupture. Fourteen of the 16 patients considered to have nonrheumatic mitral regurgitation were confirmed surgically; the other ...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial V waves in mitral regurgitation: clinical and experimental observations.
Pulmonary arterial early diastolic waves (V waves) were investigated in patients and experimental animals with mitral regurgitation. V waves exceeding systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery were recorded in the main pulmonary artery with micromanometer catheters both in patients and animals, eliminating the possibility of catheter artifact. In experimental animals, aortic closure preceded pu...
متن کاملGiant left atrium associated with mitral valve prolapse.
Valve Prolapse To the Editor: I thoroughly enjoyed Hurst’s dissertation on the etiology of a giant left atrium1 and concurred that a giant left atrium seldom results from severe mitral regurgitation due to a nonrheumatic cause such as mitral valve prolapse. Although I would never dare to challenge Dr Hurst on anything he said or wrote, because I consider him not only as the master clinician of ...
متن کاملVery long-term results (more than 20 years) of valve repair with carpentier's techniques in nonrheumatic mitral valve insufficiency.
BACKGROUND Mitral valve repair is considered the gold standard in surgery of degenerative mitral valve insufficiency (MVI), but the long-term results (>20 years) are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed the first 162 consecutive patients who underwent mitral valve repair between 1970 and 1984 for MVI due to nonrheumatic disease. The cause of MVI was degenerative in 146 patients (90%) and ...
متن کاملDifferences in antibody response to streptococcal antigens in children with rheumatic and non-rheumatic mitral valve disease.
The usefulness of streptococcal antibody tests anti-streptolysin 0 (ASO), anti-desoxyribonuelease B (anti-DNAse B), and anti-group A carbohydrate (A-antibody) in differentiating rheumatic from nonrheumatic mitral disease was explored. Sera from 154 children with mitral disease were studied. Fifteen of 17 patients with chronic mitral insufficiency (MI) following acute rheumatic fever manifested ...
