Abstract：
:The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between mitral valve morphology and amplitude of the first heart sound and the opening snap. The material consisted of 21 women and 19 men with mitral valve disease. They ranged in age from 24 to 56 years. 36 patients had pure or dominant mitral stenosis and 4 patients had combined mitral valve disease with dominant regurgitation. Phonocardiograms were recorded in all patients before mitral valve replacement. We analyzed the presence and the amplitude of opening snap and the amplitude of the first heart sound at the apex. The amplitude of the opening snap was expressed in mm and as a ratio to the maximal vibration of the second sound in the same cycle. The amplitude of the first sound was expressed in mm and as a ratio of the maximal vibration of the first sound to the maximal vibration of the first sound to the maximal vibration of the second sound in the same cycle. All amplitude measurements were made in 10 consecutive cardiac cycles and were then averaged. Then we studied all mitral valves removed in a uniform manner by one surgeon. Excised valves were fixed in 5% solution of formaline. The extent of calcification was determined by radiographs (fig. 1). The mitral valve area and calcification area were estimated by planimetry of radiographs. Then we analyzed the localization of calcification and we calculated the ratio of calcification area to valve area. Valves were divided into three groups according to the degree of the fusion of subvalvular structures ("a funnel") (fig. 2).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
