[Conduction abnormalities after single heart valve replacement (author's transl)]. 1979

J Acar, and D Brodaty, and J F Fournial, and Y Terreau, and G Chomette, and C Cabrol

A total of 300 patients were operated upon for heart valve disease by the same surgeon. The affected valve was the aortic in 200 cases and the mitral in the other 100 patients. The tricuspid valve, coronary arteries, and myocardium were not involved. This report attempts to define the frequency progression, prognosis, and significance of conduction abnormalities which appear during the course of this operation. In 35 cases, of which 16 were post-operative deaths, a histological examination of the conduction pathways was possible. The conclusions to be drawn from these observations are: Conduction abnormalities after single aortic or mitral valve replacement are frequent (1 out of 3 patients).

D008943 Mitral Valve The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
D005260 Female Females
D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
