[Concurrent coronary artery disease and acquired rheumatic mitral valve disease].
The aim of this study was to estimate coincidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and rheumatic mitral valve disease in 264 patients treated in the National Institute of Cardiology (1976-1990). Severity of stenoses on coronary angiography with respect to age, sex, symptoms and risk factors were also estimated. Stenoses over 70% of artery lumen in relation to artery diameter before lesion and over 50% for left main coronary artery were stated as severe. There were 180 (68%) females and 84 (32%) males in the studied group; mean age was 52.5 year. Patients were divided into two groups: with angina--126 pts and without CAD symptoms--138 pts. 8 females (4%) had severe stenoses and 45 (25%) non-severe. Respectively 14 males (16.7%) had severe stenoses and 14 non-severe. Severe lesions were present in a group of females older than 50 years and in a group of males older than 45 years. Both in group with or without angina prevalence of coronary artery lesions was similar. Sensitivity and specificity of CAD clinical symptoms was low (less than 50%). Significantly more risk factors were present in pts with coronary stenoses than in pts free of CAD. No correlation between high pulmonary artery pressure and angina in patients without coronary stenoses occurred.
