Right ventricular function at rest and during exercise was studied in 33 patients with mitral valve disease by equilibrium gated radionuclide angiography using 99mTc in vivo labeled red blood cells. Radionuclide measurements of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) were correlated with mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP). RVEF decreased significantly with exercise. There was no significant correlation between RVEF at rest and mPAP. However, mPAP showed significant negative correlation with RVEF during exercise and with the changes of RVEF from rest to exercise. It is concluded that RVEF during exercise in mitral valve disease is affected by right ventricular afterload, and the measurements of RVEF at rest and during exercise by equilibrium gated radionuclide angiography is useful to assess right ventricular afterload.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral Incompetence,Mitral Regurgitation,Mitral Valve Incompetence,Mitral Insufficiency,Mitral Valve Regurgitation,Incompetence, Mitral,Incompetence, Mitral Valve,Insufficiency, Mitral,Insufficiency, Mitral Valve,Regurgitation, Mitral,Regurgitation, Mitral Valve,Valve Incompetence, Mitral,Valve Insufficiency, Mitral,Valve Regurgitation, Mitral
D008946 Mitral Valve Stenosis Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.
