چکیده

Seven patients have been described who developed a third heart sound in association with a paravalvar leak around a Starr-Edwards mitral valve prosthesis. These patients had all had the mitral valve cusps, chordae tendineae, and part of the papillary muscles excised. The presence of a third heart sound in them supports the concept of Potain (I900) that the third heart sound arises by vibrations in the ventricular wall being caused by its resistance to rapid distension. The normal mitral valve structures are not necessary for the production of a third heart sound.
