TLDR
In this article, results of left heart catheterization in two normal individuals and 125 patients with rheumatic heart disease were presented, and the normal pressure curves were described. But no pressure gradients exist across a normal mitral or aortic valve.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The Syndrome of Severe Mitral Regurgitation with Normal Left Atrial Pressure
Eugene Braunwald,William C. Awe +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that long-standing mitral regurgitation may modify the mechanical characteristics of the atrial wall and that the presence of a normal left atrial pressure must not be assumed to exclude the existence of severe mitral Regurgitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and hemodynamic observations in pure mitral insufficiency.
TL;DR: Left atrial pressure contour analysis proved to be of considerably greater diagnostic value than analysis of the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure tracing and the possible interrelationships between mitral regurgitant flow and left ventricular function in the production of pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congenital Mitral Insufficiency
TL;DR: The clinical and hemodynamic findings in 10 patients with mitral insufficiency on a congenital basis are described and six patients have had repair of the defects with dramatic clinical improvement noted.

Hemodynamic methods for differentiation of mitral stenosis and regurgitation.

Hemodynamic aspects of congestive heart failure.
TL;DR: The 3 articles in this issue on congestive heart failure comprise the first 10 contributions on this subject and the remaining 7 articles will be published in the February and March issues as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Right ventricular incompetency, as judged by an elevated filling pressure, was seen in over one-half of the patients studied, believed due to the increased pulmonary pressure load and underlying myocardial damage from rheumatic fever.

The hemodynamics of the left side of the heart as studied by simultaneous left atrial, left ventricular, and aortic pressures; particular reference to mitral stenosis.

TL;DR: The fundamental hemodynamic expression of mitral stenosis is the presence of an elevated left atrioventricular filling pressure sure gradient, which ranged from 4 to 20 mm.

The Bronchoscopic Measurement of Left Auricular Pressure
P. R. Allison,R. J. Linden +1 more
TL;DR: A specially adapted needle on the end of a Jackson's suction tube has been used to pierce the left auricle of the heart through the upper end of one of the main bronchi for mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
