    This study of 200 patients found mitral valve disease most common, particularly in young women, often caused by rheumatic fever. Aortic valve disease occurred more in older men, linked to atherosclerosis and syphilis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Valvular Heart Disease Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Retrospective analysis of 200 patients with valvular disorders over 35 months.
    • Exclusion of cases related to constrictive endocardial fibrosis.
    • Focus on the frequency and characteristics of cardiac failure in valvular disease.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the frequency of different types of valvular heart disease.
    • To identify demographic patterns and etiological factors associated with mitral and aortic valve lesions.
    • To evaluate surgical indications and outcomes in patients with valvular disorders.

    Summary:

    • Mitral valve disease affected 61% of patients, predominantly young females (avg. age 26), often due to rheumatic fever (60% of cases).
    • Aortic valve disease occurred in 28.5%, more common in older males (avg. age 47), linked to atherosclerosis and syphilis.

  • Multivalvular disease was present in 9.5%; 37% required surgery, with 28% undergoing closed-heart techniques. Mortality was 5.5%, with 65% stabilized on treatment.
  • Impact:

    • Highlights the prevalence of mitral valve disease and its association with rheumatic fever.
    • Provides insights into the demographics and etiologies of aortic valve disease.
    • Informs clinical management and surgical decision-making for valvular heart conditions.
