Pulmonary function in rheumatic mitral valve disease patients significantly decreased after surgery, with some improvement at 3 months but remaining below predicted levels. This impaired spirometry persisted in some patients despite functional gains.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification subjectively assesses cardiac patient respiratory reserve.
  • Objective pulmonary function assessment using spirometry is crucial for understanding disease impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To objectively evaluate pulmonary function changes in rheumatic mitral valve disease patients undergoing open surgery.
  • To correlate spirometric parameters with clinical outcomes and surgical factors.

Main Methods:

  • Spirometry was performed on 31 patients (mean age 27.2 years) preoperatively, at discharge, and 3 months post-surgery.
  • Surgical details included mitral valve reconstruction (7) or replacement (24).
  • Pulmonary function tests measured Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV).

Main Results:

  • Post-surgery, mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and mitral valve (MV) gradient decreased, while MV area increased.
  • Significant reductions in FVC, FEV1, and MVV were observed at discharge.
  • Prolonged ventilatory support and cardiopulmonary bypass time correlated with worse spirometric outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Open mitral valve surgery in rheumatic heart disease leads to significant, albeit temporary, pulmonary function impairment.
  • While pulmonary function improves by 3 months, it often remains below predicted values.
  • Spirometric changes did not consistently correlate with NYHA class improvement or hemodynamic status.
