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 ...

The pulmonary-artery pressure was measured in 31 patients with mitral disease. The predominant lesion in 30 of the patients was mitral stenosis, and in the 1 remaining it was pure mitral ...

Dear K.T.: Dexfenfluramine, aka Redux (also called "fen-phen" in combination with phentermine), was sold in the 1990s until it was removed from the market in 1997 after valvular heart damage and ...

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 ...

For example, the murmur of aortic stenosis is high pitched because there is usually a large pressure gradient between the left ventricle and the aorta. Conversely, the murmur of mitral stenosis is ...

Thus, it is not surprising that patients originally suspected of having mitral ... aortic stenosis we are satisfied that a normal or even accentuated aortic second sound, a wide pulse pressure ...

Blood enters the left ventricle through the mitral valve and leaves through the aortic valve. A stenotic valve is a valve opening that has gotten smaller and is partially obstructing blood flow. In ...

The replacement system is launching into markets already served by repair devices, namely Edwards’ Pascal and Abbott’s ...

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 ...
