Abstract:

Stenosis and mitral insufficiency may induce pulmonary arterial hypertension. The underlying mechanisms depend on the intrinsic characteristics of the pulmonary circulation and the acute or chronic character of left atrial hypertension. Since the main complication is right heart failure, treatment of left pathology (valve replacement) is aimed at reducing pulmonary pressures and decreasing the post-load of the right ventricle. Finally, various treatments, mainly medications, can be considered to reduce the effect of pulmonary hypertension and correct its symptoms. The results obtained show the clinical utility of our extraction methods for the recognition of heart sounds (or PCG signal), the estimation of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The results obtained also show that the severity of mitral stenosis involves severe pulmonary arterial hypertension.
