Variáveis Doppler-ecocardiográficas e o tipo de cirurgia a ser realizada na regurgitação valvar mitral reumática

Abstract: A doença reumática, em nosso país, é ainda uma das causas mais prevalentes da regurgitação mitral. Diferentemente da regurgitação mitral ocasionada por degeneração mixomatosa ou doença isquêmica, a doença reumática pode apresentar restrição, espessamento de folhetos e anormalidades acentuadas da região subvalvar 1 , também, comumente associada à estenose valvar. A regurgitação valvar mitral reumática incide geralmente em indivíduos jovens e deve ser avaliada de modo diferenciado em suas abordagens clínica e ci… Show more

“…Flowrelated measurements can be enhanced by combining it with Doppler ultrasound. At present, Doppler echocardiography plays a vital role in the premature determination of the kind of surgery to be carried out for adjusting the mitral valve regurgitation [5,7] . The severity of the regurgitation is the vital determinant of the development of ventricular dilatation and dysfunction in case of mitral regurgitation [a valvular heart disease also known as mitral insufficiency].…”
