OBJECTIVE
This review discusses the latest developments in selected clinical features and catheter-based therapy of mitral stenosis.
METHODS
English-language journal articles and reviews in the clinical and epidemiological literature as related to mitral valve stenosis from 1965 through March 1993,
An association between rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease and mitral prolapse has been suggested. Since mitral stenosis in adults is a reliable indicator of rheumatic heart disease, we undertook this study to define the association between rheumatic heart disease and prolapse by estimating the
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is an inflammatory sequela which occurs in 1-3% of children afflicted with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat). The major manifestations are carditis, migratory polyarthritis and chorea. ARF recurs with repeated strep throats and frequently
BACKGROUND
Association of valvular heart disease and lipid profile might be important as in the case of aortic stenosis. However, it has not been so far considered in detail the probable association of other valvular diseases, particularly of mitral stenosis (MS) with lipid profile. In our study, we
Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease continue to be the major health problem in all developing countries including Bangladesh. Rheumatic mitral stenosis is a very common problem in our population having an incidence of 54 percent among rheumatic heart disease with a female preponderance of
BACKGROUND
Mitral stenosis (MS) is still the most common complication of acute rheumatic fever in Turkey. Rheumatic carditis affects not only cardiac valves but also myocardium. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and contraction of short
OBJECTIVE
The most important sequel of acute rheumatic fever is mitral stenosis in long-term. The aim of the study is to determine left ventricular (LV) functions by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and strain/strain rate echocardiography (SE/SRE) in mitral stenosis patients who had no clinical signs of
BACKGROUND
Although it has declined in developed countries, mitral valve stenosis is problematic in developing countries; its main cause is rheumatic fever. In patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS), ongoing chronic inflammation may resultin the progression of valvular damage and the
BACKGROUND
Rheumatic Fever represents a serious public health problem in developing countries, with thousands of new cases each year. It is an autoimmune disease, which occurs in response to infection by streptococcus A.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunolabeling and protein
