Effect of heart rate on transmitral flow velocity profile and Doppler measurements of mitral valve area in patients with mitral stenosis.

abstract：:Between January 1983 and December 1990, 20 patients aged 80 years or older underwent valvular surgery. The patients' ages varied from 80 to 87 years (mean, 82 +/- 1.5 years). The indication for operation was aortic stenosis in 19 patients, and mitral insufficiency after previous mitral valve replacement with a biopros...
