[Left ventricular remodeling in mitral valve defects].
Left ventricular (LV) structure and function were studied in 199 with mitral valve defect before operation and in 88 patients after mitral valve replacement. LV structural-geometric shifts precede functional ones and can predict the latter. The rate of LV pathological remodeling depends on LV cavity volume and myocardial mass. Criteria of developing pathological LV remodeling are supposed to be the following: an increase in the myocardial mass index up to 225 g/m2 in 2H/D > 0.29, up to 175 g/m2 in 2H/D < 0.30; LV cavity dilation to 7 cm in diastole and 5 cm in systole.
