[Comparison between echocardiographic and hemodynamic indices in the evaluation of mitral stenosis]. 1980

M Santiago, and E Meaney, and J I Romero, and L Cueto

The echocardiographic data (the amplitude of the mitral echogram, the velocity of the E to F slope and the dimension of the left atrium) of 12 patients with mitral stenosis were compared with hemodynamic data obtained during a cardiac catheterization (the mitral valve area and the peak left ventricular filling rate, expressed in millimeters/second [dv/dtD] and normalized by the end-diastolic volume [dv/dtD/VTD seg-1]). None of the echocardiographic variables showed a good correlation with the hemodynamic indices. It is concluded that echocardiography is a useful total in the diagnosis of mitral stenosis, but at the same time there is not a single echocardiographic sign which by itself evaluate correctly the severity of mitral stenosis.

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.
