| Popis: | During the past 3 years physiologic studies of patients with mitral stenosis have been reported from various laboratories. 1–17 Most of these patients tend to have decreased cardiac output, elevated pulmonary “capillary” and pulmonary artery pressures, and increased pulmonary resistance. Many show increased work of the right ventricle against pressure and physiologic evidence of right ventricular failure. Pulmonary hypertension correlates well with the degree of disability. It is the purpose of this paper (a) to present physiologic data of forty-three patients with predominant mitral stenosis, (b) to correlate various determinants related to pressure and flow in the pulmonary circuit, and (c) to emphasize the importance of pulmonary “capillary” pressure and its relation to other factors. |
