Abstract:
To study the diagnosis of pulmonary stenosis (PS) in patients with the secundum atrial septal defects(ASD) by the measurement of maximal velocity through pulmonary valve (Vpv max ). There were 98 cases with secundum ASD, and 27 cases with secundum ASD and PS diagnosed by echocardiography(TTE). All the cases with secundum ASD were confirmed by surgery. The diagnosis of 19 cases out of 27 cases as diagnosed by TTE were confirmed by surgery, and the other 8 cases were simple secundum ASD. These results suggested that the two dimensional echocardiography and Vpv max should be utilized in order to achieve a better diagnostic accuracy in the diagnosis of PS in the patients with ASD, and PS should be considered if the Vpv max increased to 2 65 to 3 25m/s.
