Exercise Hemodynamies of Pulmonary Valvular Stenosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Sixty-four children with pulmonary stenosis were studied by cardiac catheterization both at rest and on exercise. Whereas milder degrees of stenosis were associated with normal right ventricular function, more severe stenosis was associated with fixed stroke index and elevated RVEDP, and suboptimal response of cardiac index. These changes result from altered right ventricular compliance. In several the compliance abnormality was related to myocardial hypertrophy, whereas in four patients it was most likely caused by myocardial fibrosis.

Pulmonary valvotomv PULMONARY VALVULAR STENOSIS
Twenty children with pulmonary valvular stenosis were studied by cardiac catheterization both at rest and during submaximal supine exercise, prior to and following pulmonary valvotomy. The resting and exercise states were comparable preoperatively and postoperatively since cardiac output, heart rate, A V 02 difference and oxygen consumption were similar. Evidence of improved cardiac function wa...
متن کاملComparison of the cardiocirculatory effects of exercise and isoproterenol in children with pulmonary or aortic valve stenosis.
Isoproterenol infusion during cardiac catheterization as a simulator of exercise was evaluated with hemodynamic studies in children with pulmonary (15) or aortic (8) valve stenosis. Cardiac function was monitored during rest, mild exercise and isoproterenol infusion. Similar heart rates were maintained in both procedures. Peak pulmonary and aortic valve gradients as well as right and left ventr...

Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...
متن کاملRelation of valvular lesions and of exercise to auricular pressure, work tolerance, and to development of chronic, congestive failure in dogs.
T HE PATHOGENESIS of congestive failure is still uncertain. In 1910 Bolton and Starling (I) wrote that the analysis of the factors involved in the production of the disease was rendered difficult by the impossibility of accurately reproducing these states in animals. Since that time numerous methods have been tried to precipitate congestive failure in dogs. The attempts have met with limited su...
متن کاملPrognostic importance of quantitative exercise Doppler echocardiography in asymptomatic valvular aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND In patients with asymptomatic valvular aortic stenosis, exercise testing may help to stratify the clinical risk. However, data are limited, and the role of quantitative exercise Doppler echocardiography has never been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-nine consecutive patients with severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis (aortic valve area <1 cm2) who prospectively underwent quan...
