Abstract:
Three cases of chronic rheumatic heart disease with involvement of all four valves are presented. The involvement of tricuspid and pulmonary valves was suspected clinically and was confirmed by two-dimensional echo, Doppler, hemodynamic and angiographic findings. These findings were also verified surgically and histopathologically in 2 cases. One of the cases died after cardiac catheterization; the other 2 cases were treated surgically with success.
