Abstract:
In a group of 32 patients with mitral valve disease and extreme pulmonary hypertension, the efficacy of mitral valve replacement (MVR) was analysed. In all patients hemodynamic and clinical data were obtained and compared before and after operation. After surgery a statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) of the pressure was observed in right atrium and ventricle, pulmonary artery and capillaries, the pulmonary resistance was decreased, the cardiac index was increased. The improvement of hemodynamic parameters correlated well with clinical data. But it has not influenced for return to the job.
