The echocardiogram reveals the presence of 2 major problems. On the one hand, the patient has mitral stenosis; on the other hand, a thrombus is noted in the left atrium. In addition, the patient ...

HEMOPTYSIS occurs quite frequently as a consequence of mitral stenosis, but massive, life-threatening pulmonary hemorrhage is distinctly unusual. 1–4,5,6 Oppenheimer and Schwartz 3 have termed ...

shows promise for treating patients with severe calcific mitral stenosis (MS) and no other surgical or transcatheter treatment options. But until recently, evidence of its value has been sparse ...

One hundred and twenty patients with mitral stenosis were studied by combined catheterization. Thirty-five of these patients with pure mitral stenosis are the subject of this study. The diagnosis ...

Mitral valve stenosis is a form of valvular heart disease. It occurs when there is a narrowing of the mitral valve, which restricts the flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

Most commonly the mitral valve is affected, resulting in mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation. Less commonly, the aortic valve can be involved; tricuspid valve involvement is rare, but reported.

If left untreated, mitral valve disease can lead to serious, life-threatening complications such as heart failure or irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. Stenosis occurs when the valve ...

Your doctor may call this backflow regurgitation. Mitral valve or aortic stenosis. Stenosis is the narrowing of the valves, which makes your heart work harder to pump blood to your body.

Diastolic murmurs include aortic and pulmonic regurgitation (early diastolic), and mitral or tricuspid stenosis (mid-late diastolic). Tricuspid stenosis is very rare and is discussed further in ...

for severe symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis will have good outcomes without the need for reintervention for up to 23 years of follow-up, a Brazilian study suggests. At a single center with ...
