چکیده

The mean pressure drop across the mitral valve and atrioventricular pressure half-time were measured noninvasively by Doppler ultrasound in 40 normal subjects, in 17 patients with mitral regurgitation, 32 patients with mitral stenosis and 12 with combined stenosis and regurgitation. In normal subjects pressure half-times were 20--60 msec, in patients with isolated mitral regurgitation 35--80 msec and in patients with mitral stenosis 90--383 msec. There was no significant change in pressure half-time with exercise or on repeat examinations, indicating relative independence of mitral flow. In 25 patients with mitral stenosis and seven with combined stenosis and regurgitation, pressure half-time was related to mitral valve area calculated from catheterization data. Increasing pressure half-times occurred with decreasing mitral valve area, and this relationship was not influenced by additional mitral regurgitation. Noninvasive measurement of pressure half-time together with mean pressure drop was useful for evaluating patients with mitral valve disease.

Limitations of Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of the function of prosthetic mitral valves.

Pressure half time has been assumed to be a relatively flow-independent measure of orifice area, but it may also be influenced by atrial and ventricular factors. Pressure half time and peak left ventricular inflow velocity were measured by continuous wave Doppler ultrasound in 164 patients with normally functioning Carpentier-Edwards, Björk-Shiley, and Starr-Edwards mitral prostheses. Pressure ...
