[Quantitative determination of blood regurgitation via the mitral valve]
Abstract:
A method of quantitative determination of blood regurgitation through the mitral valve is considered. Verification experiment on 5 animals with the determination of correlation coefficient of true and predicted regurgitation has shown it to be 0.855 on the average. Besides, observations were undertaken on 621 patient with varying pathology of the heart. A quantitative characteristics of blood regurgitation in patients with mitral defects is given. The method can be used not only under operation conditions, but also in catheterization of the cardiac cavities without administering of an opaque substance.
