Abstract

Purpose. To assess the value of gated blood pool SPECT in assessment of right ventricle (RV) contractility in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). Materials and methods. The study included 20 patients (mean age 54,2 ± 8,22 years) with rheumatic MS, 13 patients were examined before and after correction of mitral defect. All patients underwent gated blood pool SPECT before and after mitral valve replacement. Results. All patients with mitral stenosis show fixed RV regional wall contractility reduction. Patients with MS, in comparison with control group patients show significantly lower values of EF, the MSI and the MFR/3, SV, and larger values of RV EDV. Mitral valve replacement realized in statistically significant decrease of ESV, increasing of MSI and RV EF. The size of the right atrium, measured by blood pool SPECT, was significantly increased in patients with MS, and significantly decreased after mitral valve replacement. Conclusion. Gated blood pool SPECT can be used for noninvasive assessment of functional status of the right ventricle in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
