Temporal response of left ventricular performance to mitral valve surgery.

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: The temporal changes in left ventricular performance and hypertrophy after valve replace- ment for mitral regurgitation (MR) or stenosis (MS) are unclear.We studied 16 patients with MR and 17 patients with MS using echocardiography before and serially after surgery for an average of 15 months.Before surgery, average end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions (EDD and ESD, respectively) and left ventricular muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), an index of left ventricular mass, were significantly greater than normal in subjects with MR.After surgery, EDD fell significantly, from 6.40 ± 1.00 (SD) cm to 5.40 ± 1.44 cm
