Computer Analysis of the Orthogonal Electrocardiogram and Vectorcardiogram in Mitral Stenosis

چکیده
Orthogonal electrocardiograms (Frank lead system) from 191 patients with pure mitral stenosis (MS) were compared to electrocardiograms from 510 normal patients and 296 patients with pulmonary emphysema (PE). All patients with MS underwent right heart catheterization; 121 patients underwent both left and right heart catheterization. Three hundred and thirty electrocardiographic measurements were obtained from each record and tested for their ability to distinguish mitral stenosis from normal. Two sets of diagnostic discriminators were selected: (1) ECG measurements which can be easily obtained by hand and (2) measurements which performed best in multivariate analysis using linear discriminant functions. The patients with mitral stenosis were separated into three hemodynamic subgroups according to mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) (0-30, 31-40, and >40 mm Hg). The ability of the selected measurements to recognize mitral stenosis increased as mean pulmonary artery pressure rose. The superiority of the multivariate technique, using nine measurements simultaneously, was readily demonstrated when compared to the hand measurements. At a constant level of 6% false positives, multivariate analysis allowed a 74% recognition rate of mitral stenosis compared to 44% with hand measurements.

متن کاملThe vectorcardiogram in mitral valve disease.
The Frank system vectorcardiogram has been studied in 61 patients with severe mitral valve disease to determine the value of the vectorcardiogram in the recognition of the relative degree of left and right ventricular hypertrophy in this situation. The appearance of the usual evidence of right ventricular hypertrophy is delayed in mitral valve disease by the vertical electrical position of the ...

Immediate 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...

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...
