摘要
We measured pulmonary and systemic flows in 22 patients with mitral stenosis and in 7 controls. In patients with mitral stenosis, pulmonary flow index averaged 2.33 +/- 0.41 1/min/m2 and systemic flow index averaged 2.15 +/- 0.60 1/min/m2 p = 0.045. There was a strong correlation between the difference in pulmonary and systemic flow indexes and the difference in mean left and right atrial pressure (r = 0.749, p = 0.00008). After a successful dilatation in 17 patients, there was a significant drop in the difference between pulmonary and systemic flow indexes (0.26 +/- 0.41 vs. 0.07 +/- 0.37 1/min/m2, p = 0.048). We conclude that chronic elevation of left atrial pressure leads to a left to right shunt probably through bronchial veins.
