Isolated pulmonary stenosis, a relatively common congenital anomaly that accounts for about 10 percent of all congenital heart disease, is characterized by stenosis of pulmonary valve itself, infundibulum or both of them,
Since cardiac catheterizatin was applied to man by Cournand and Ranges, pulmonary stenosis has been easily diagnosed and may clinical studies were investigated.
It has a wide clinical spectrum depending on the degree of stenosis.
The electrocardiogram, phonocadiogram, and chest X-ray have proved useful in estimating the severity of hemodynamic factors in individual cases.
This series comprises 47 cases in whom the clinical disgnosis of isolated pulmonary stenosis was confirmed by right heart catheterization with cardiac cineangiography at Severance Hospital, Yonsel University.
An attempt was made to correlate the electrocardiographic, phonocardiographic and chest X-ray findings, and types of stenosis with the hemodynamics data in these cases.
1. Of 47 patients, 33 were male and 14 female. Their ages ranged from 2 to 42 years: The mean age was 19.1 years.
2. The incidence was 5.9 percent of all 797 catheterized congenital heart disease cases. The pulmonary valvular stenosis was 30(68.3%), infundibular 7(14.6%) and combined 10(21.6%).
3. The correlation between electrocadiorgram and hemodynamic data were as follows.
ⅰ) The regression equation between right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP) and height of R wave in V^^1 lead(RV^^1) was RVSP=3.32RV^^1 +48.2; its correlation coefficient was 0.818 and it was very significant(p=0.000).
ⅱ) The higher the RVSP, the more the frontal axis of QRS complex shifted to the right side(r=0.55, p=0.001).
ⅲ) The RVSP of the groups with positive EKG findings such as p-pulmonale, right ventricular hypertrophy or right ventricular strain were much higher than the RVSP of the groups without such findings(p=0.032, 0.000, 0.000).
ⅳ) The group with RV^^1 higher than 20㎜ showed much more elevated mean of RVSP than the group with lower RV^^1 (p=0.000).
ⅴ) The groups with the above mentioned positive EKG findings showed good correlations with the severity of RVSP which was arbitrarily classified as 49 or less, 50-99, 100mmHg or more (X**2 =8.96, 26.69, 19.06; p=0.0114, 0.0000, 0.0001).
4. The group with late occurrence of the maximum intensity of the ejection systolic murmur showed higher mean of RVSP than the group with early peak of the murmur(p=0.014).
5. The mean of RVSP of the groups with chest X-ray findings such as decreased pulmonary vascularity, post-stenotic dilatation or right ventricular hypertrophy were much higher than the means of RVSP of the groups withput such findings(p=0.000, 0.005, 0.015). The groups with above mentioned positive chest X-ray findings showed good correlations with the severity of RVSP which was classified as above limits(X**2 =7.55, 10.94, 13.36; p=0.0229, 0.0042, 0.0013).
6. Combined pulmonary valvular and infundibular stenosis showed more severe systolic pressure gradient and higher mean of RVSP than the isolated types(p=0.0003).
