The paper analyzes the data on the examination and surgical treatment of 426 (313 males and 113 females) patients aged from 16 to 60 years with various aortic valvular diseases. Isolated aortic stenosis was detected in 122 (28.6%) patients, isolated aortic failure in 128 (30.0%), and aortic valvular disease concurrent with other valvular diseases in 176 (41.4%) patients. Some problems in the diagnosis of latent myocardial insufficiency and in the compensation of intracardiac hemodynamics, as well as the association of aortic valvular disease, angina pectoris, and coronary heart disease are dealt with. A contribution of risk factors, such as valvular calcification, age, etiology, and their influence on the outcome of surgical treatment are discussed in the paper. |
