[Hemodynamic effects of aldosterone antagonists in patients with mitral stenosis (author's transl)]. 1978

G Bachour, and F Bender, and E Most

In 12 patients with mitral stenosis of a severity that surgery was required, some hemodynamic parameters after intravenous injection of 400 mg Kaliumcanrenoat were studied. The hemodynamic changes were noted after 15 min and reached maximal values after 60 min. The increased values of pulmonary wedge, pulmonary artery and right atrial pressures were significantly reduced and the cardiac index and stroke volume index augmented, with unchanged systemic arterial pressure. Thus, a remarkable relief from pulmonary congestion followed, accompanied by an increase of the left-ventricular working index.--These results encourage the use of aldosterone antagonists in certain cases suffering from severe mitral stenosis.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
