“…This is less than the prevalence rates of 22-44% found at necropsy (Kitchin and Turner, 1964). The discrepancy between clinical and necropsy findings may be due to overshadowing features of mitral and aortic valve disease (Braimbridge et al, 1970) and to difficulty in differentiating organic from functional tricuspid incompetence on the basis of clinical, haemodynamic, and angiographic criteria.…”

. (1975). Thorax, 30,[158][159][160][161]. Tricuspid valve replacement: a five-year appraisal. Organic disease of the tricuspid valve required surgery in 18% of all patients undergoing valve replacement over a five-year period. Differentiation of organic from functional disease is difficult and may be made only at open-heart surgery. The results of a series of 56 patients who underwent tricuspid valve replacement are presented; of these, 53 had organic disease. Operative mortality at the end of five years had fallen to 7% with significant clinical improvement in 79% of patients, a reduction in cardiothoracic ratio in 81%, and a low incidence of postoperative tricuspid incompetence.

“…Thus 15-21% of patients at mitral valvotomy (Bailey and Bolton, 1956;Kitchin and Turner, 1964;Starr et al, 1966) or double valve replacement (Starr et al, 1966) have significant tricuspid pathology.…”

“…Because patients with rheumatic TS invariably have coexisting mitral valve disease, it is difficult to separate symptoms specific to TV obstruction; they include fatigue, dyspnea, and peripheral edema. 36 The venous pressure is elevated with a prominent a wave and slow y descent. An opening snap, followed by a diastolic rumbling murmur at the right sternal border that varies with respiration, is characteristic.…”

“…21 Rheumatic inflammation of the pulmonic valve is usually associated with involvement of other valves and rarely leads to serious deformity. 22 One study at Dhaka, Bangladesh has showed that out of 241 cases of valvular heart disease, mitral valve was involved in 61% cases.…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate different sequelae in adult patients of chronic rheumatic heart disease. DESIGN: A descriptive study. SETTING: This study was conducted at Liaquat University Hospital and Isra University Hospital, Hyderabad-Sindh from January 2003 to December 2004. METHODS: Patients of chronic rheumatic heart disease who presented at Liaquat University Hospital and Isra University Hospital were enrolled in the study. Demographic details of patients such as age, sex, socioeconomic status as well as their symptoms such as dysponea, palpitation and chest pain were noted on a proforma. Number of rheumatic fever attacks in the past were also noted. Patients were examined carefully for cardiac valvular lesions and for signs of acute rheumatic fever. Patients underwent different investigations such as blood complete picture, ESR, ASO titre, ECG, X-ray chest, echocardiography and Doppler. All patients had their calcium levels and collagen profile checked to exclude non rheumatic causes of valvular heart disease. RESULTS: One hundred adult patients of chronic rheumatic heart disease were studied for various valvular sequelae. Out of 100 patients studied, 49 (49%) patients were males and 51 (51%) were females. Seventy-three (73%) patients were below 30 years of age (Group A) and 27 (27%) patients were above 30 years of age (Group B). Patients age ranged between 12 and 60 years. Forty-eight (48%) patients had predominant mitral stenosis. Forty-two (42%) patients had predominant mitral regurgitation. Nine (9%) patients had aortic regurgitation and one (1%) had aortic stenosis along with mitral valve disease. CONCLUSION: From this study, it is concluded that mitral valve stenosis is frequently observed than mitral regurgitation and aortic valve is least affected, therefore, in every case of chronic rheumatic fever mitral valve should be thoroughly examined.
