Vectorcardiographic Studies in Acquired Valvular Disease with Reference to the Diagnosis of Right Ventricular Hypertrophy

or massive RVH can the electromotive forces generated in the right ventricle (RV) counterbalance those produced in the left ventricle (LV).1 2 Our experience as well as that of several others-9 has demonstrated the usefulness and merits of the orthogonal vectorcardiogram.

Surgical Treatment of Acquired Valvular Disease

IT IS an obvious fact that acquired valvular deformities may impose a serious mechanical burden upon the heart. Over the years it has been logical to hope that definitive surgical technics would be developed to alter these defects so as to restore normal cardiac function. However plausible the need, the evolution of surgery for acquired valvular disease was delayed by the fear that the heart co...
