Valvular heart disease; the role of cardiac catheterization in preoperative evaluation.

Cardiac catheterization studies performed in research laboratories showed that advanced mitral stenosis is associated with a characteristic dynamic pattern which is reversible by mitral valvulotomy. In the process of the selection of patients for mitral valvulotomy, occasionally there are instances in which a decision cannot be reached on the basis of ordinary clinical methods of examination. In some such cases cardiac catheterization may be of decisive value by demonstrating, or by failing to demonstrate, the dynamic pattern of mitral stenosis. Cases in which this diagnostic procedure is most often helpful are those of mild mitral stenosis and those in which there are combined valvular defects.
