TLDR
Preliminary observations are presented from cardiologically normal controls and patients with mitral stenosis before and after commissurotomy and superimposed tracings on equal ordinate scales were obtained, thus simplifying the analysis of hemodynamic events.
Abstract
Pressure pulses from the human heart have been recorded at operation by simultaneous needle puncture of the left atrium, left ventricle and aorta. Superimposed tracings on equal ordinate scales were obtained, thus simplifying the analysis of hemodynamic events. Preliminary observations are presented from cardiologically normal controls and patients with mitral stenosis before and after commissurotomy.

Time Relationship of Dynamic Events in the Cardiac Chambers, Pulmonary Artery and Aorta in Man

TL;DR: The results obtained by permutation of simultaneous pressure recordings confirm the classical observations made in dogs.

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.
