[Aortic valve replacement at the cardiac insufficiency stage]. 1977

P Henry, and P Jaumin, and C Chalant, and R Krémer

80 adult patients with isolated aortic valvulopathy and cardiac insufficiency have been investigated. Among 10 non operated patients, there has been 9 deaths during a three years follow-up. Among 70 operated patients early mortality is not higher than among patients without cardiac failure, but late mortality is significantly higher (27, 1 p. 100), bacterial endocarditis and sudden deaths being particularly frequent. Subjective improvement is constant among survivors but cardiomegaly and left ventricular hypertrophy do not change much. The authors think aortic valve replacement is beneficial even in patients with cardiac failure.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
