Pulmonary function before and sequentially after valve replacement surgery with correlation to preoperative

K Y Mustafa, M M Nour, H Shuhaiber

    The American Review of Respiratory Disease
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pulmonary function often declines after heart valve replacement surgery but gradually improves over time, especially for mitral valve patients. Severe cardiac dysfunction correlates with pulmonary issues, indicating a poor prognosis in advanced cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Hemodynamic outcomes post-valve replacement are known, but pulmonary function follow-up is limited.
    • Preoperative pulmonary dysfunction is common in patients with mitral, aortic, or combined stenosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess pulmonary function changes after valve replacement surgery.
    • To correlate pulmonary function with hemodynamic status and surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Pulmonary function and hemodynamic tests were performed preoperatively on 149 patients.
    • 88 patients were followed for up to 125 weeks post-surgery.
    • Analysis included forced vital capacity (FVC), diffusing capacity (DLCO), and airway resistance.

    Main Results:

    • All patients exhibited reduced preoperative pulmonary function (FVC, DLCO) and increased airway resistance.
    • Early postoperative pulmonary function varied, correlating with preoperative status.
    • Progressive pulmonary function improvement was observed between 10 and 125 weeks, particularly in the mitral group.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary function deterioration is linked to cardiac dysfunction severity.
    • Pulmonary function is generally reversible after valve replacement, except in severe, advanced cases.
    • Lower FVC/DLCO and higher resistance predicted mortality in mitral valve replacement patients.
