Abstract:
:It is common for patients to be diagnosed as having valvular regurgitation by Doppler echo when no such murmur has been heard by the referring clinician. To test the hypothesis that such patients have clinically unimportant heart disease, the authors evaluated the records of 213 consecutive men in whom mitral regurgitation had been found by pulsed Doppler. In 95 patients (group I) mitral regurgitation was audible, whereas in the other 118, it was not. In 97 patients with inaudible mitral regurgitation there were no structural mitral valve abnormalities by 2D echo. This group of 97 patients (group II) was defined as having unexpected Doppler mitral regurgitation. In group II patients there was a high prevalence of hypertension (50%), congestive heart failure (44%), alcohol abuse (46%), diabetes (27%), coronary artery disease (63%), and atrial fibrillation (13%). The following variables were distributed similarly in groups I and II: survival time, age, presence of congestive heart failure or coronary artery disease, left ventricular short-axis end diastolic and end systolic dimensions, E point septal separation, and the severity of dyssynergy. Atrial fibrillation was more common in group I (p = 0.017), and group I patients had a higher Quetelet's Index (weight/height squared) (p = 0.03). In group II, the factors most closely related to survival were the presence of dyssynergy, of atrial fibrillation, or of congestive heart failure. Although no group II patient had endocarditis or required mitral valve replacement, their survival was markedly decreased compared with people of similar age in the general population. The majority of cardiogenic deaths in group II patients were due to coronary artery disease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
