[Criteria in plain radiograms for the diagnostic valuation of pulmonary hemodynamics in mitral valve disease (author's transl)].
Changes in the heart and lungs in patients with organic mitral valve disease, which can be demonstrated on plain radiographs, were correlated to pulmonary pressure. The most important radiologic criteria were: the extent of dilatation of the out flow tract of the right ventricle, enlargement of the left and the right pulmonary artery, the degree of interstitial pulmonary edema, enlargement of left atrium and calcification of mitral valve. With a point valuation of the criteria a prediction of pulmonary hypertension in mitral valve disease from plain radiographs is possible.
