"A Handbook of Multivalvular and Prosthetic Valve Disease" contains a detailed description of the disease. There are no clear cut guidelines about management of multivalvular disease. However, author has tried to deal in simple and comprehensible manner. Special effort has been made to explain the clinical features (Symptoms and signs) of multivalvular disease and to decide about dominant lesion in each case. Likewise, the prosthetic valve evaluation has also been dealt in great details in this book. Readers will find it very useful as current books lack a detailed description of prosthetic...

"A Handbook of Tricuspid And Pulmonary Valve Disease" contains a detailed description of the diseases of these two valves. A detailed description of Ebstein's Anomaly Of Tricuspid vale is highlight of this book. Etiology, pathogenesis and hemodynamics of diseases of both valves have been dealt in simple and comprehensible manner. Special effort has been made to explain the clinical features (Symptoms and signs) of disease. Probably the clinical features is the forgotten art in the newer text books. However, the author has taken a special interest to include a detailed description of clinical...

Mitral stenosis is due to thickening and immobility of the mitral valve leaflets, resulting in obstruction in blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The mitral valve leaflets are thickened and the commissures are fused along with thickening and shortening of the chordae tendineae. This mechanical obstruction leads to increases in pressure within the left atrium, pulmonary vasculature, and right side of the heart; in comparison, the left ventricle is unaffected if there is pure mitral stenosis.
