    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Physiology

    Background:

    • Rheumatic mitral stenosis commonly leads to impaired left ventricular function.
    • The clinical significance of this impairment requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess left ventricular function in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
    • To correlate ventricular dysfunction with clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Echocardiography was performed on 20 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
    • Key indices of left ventricular performance were measured, including Vcf, ejection fraction, and wall velocities.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced normalized mean rate of circumferential fiber shortening (Vcf), ejection fraction, and stroke volume were observed.

  • Impaired left ventricular function correlated with functional disability (NYHA class), right ventricular dilatation, and left atrial enlargement.
  • Vcf showed inverse relationships with right ventricular diameter and left atrial size.

    • Conclusions:

    • Abnormalities in left ventricular myocardial contractility contribute to impaired function in mitral stenosis.
    • The observed left ventricular dysfunction is clinically significant and associated with disease severity.
