In only a few of these writings has the material been so arranged that information pertaining to older patients is available. We have found no paper which confines itself to mitral stenosis as the only existingvalvular lesion in patients of advanced age. Boas and Perla1discussed mitral stenosis after 50 but included combined valvular lesions. For a numberof years, one...Bibliography1. BOASPERLA EPD: Mitral stenosis after fifth decade, Am. Jr. Med.
