As mitral stenosis progresses, increased left atrial pressure is required to maintain stroke volume. This pressure increase is generated primarily by the right heart and results in increased ...

Because of the pulmonary vascular disease, the pulmonary-artery wedge pressure could not be determined. The clinical diagnosis was mitral stenosis, with severe pulmonary hypertension and secondary ...

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of age on the relationship between mitral inflow indices and LV filling pressures in patients with aortic stenosis. The authors studied ...

It is used for select patients who have mitral valve stenosis (narrowing of the mitral valve) with symptoms, select older people who have aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve ...

I took the diet drug Redux in the late 1990s. It was pulled off the market due to correlated heart issues. I saw a ...

According to Dr Bipeenchandra Bhamre, heart valve diseases involve a range of issues such as mitral valve prolapse, aortic stenosis ... issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels ...

As mitral stenosis progresses over time, the pressure in the left atrium rises. This pressure is transmitted to the pulmonary veins, the pulmonary vasculature, and eventually to the right side of ...
