Sixteen cases with mitral valvular disease were studied with regard to the correlation between pathological changes in the pulmonary vasculature and pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise before and after surgery. In muscular pulmonary arteries obtained by open lung biopsy, medial wall thickness (MWT) was 13.8 +/- 3.2% and intimal thickness (IT) was 37.3 +/- 13.5%. MWT was correlated with IT (r = 0.60, p < 0.05). Wall thickness in pulmonary veins was 8.21 +/- 1.8%. Preoperative mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) during exercise was 45.9 +/- 9.4 mmHg, and decreased significantly to 38.1 +/- 11.3 mmHg postoperatively. However, in 4 patients, MPAP during exercise increased after surgery. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) during exercise was unchanged before and after surgery (2.74 +/- 1.90 U.M2-->2.69 +/- 1.3 U.M2). MWT was significantly correlated with preoperative MPAP at rest only. In patients showing an increase of MPAP during exercise postoperatively, mean MWT was 16.2% and mean IT was 47.4%. In conclusion our data suggest that postoperative pulmonary hemodynamics does not improve in patients whose MWT exceeds 15% and IT exceeds 40% and that irreversibility may be due to pulmonary vascular lesions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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
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.
