There were 52 males and 89 females who had mitral and aortic stenosis, either alone, or in combination with adynamic, physiologically insignificant aortic and/or mitral regurgitation. Their ages ranged from 23 to 67.METHODSIn all cases, an analysis was made of the complete symptomatic pattern, including the electrocardiogram and chest roentgenogram. These observations, where possible, were compared with those obtained in a larger series of cases with pure mitral and aortic stenosis.In addition, combined...Bibliography1.
