Evaluation of mitral stenosis by cine magnetic resonance imaging.

To evaluate the ability of cine magnetic resonance imaging (cine MRI) in the assessment of mitral stenosis (MS), we studied 20 patients (14 women and 6 men, mean age 60.6 +/- 8.5 years) with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis by using an 0.

[A study of segmentary arterial blood pressure in the evaluation of obstructive arteriopathy of the lower limbs (author's transl)].

The pressure segmentary systolic blood pressure of lower limbs is described in normal and arteriopathic subjects. After reviewing the various methods currently used, the authors emphasize the diagnostic value of ankle/arm pressure index and segmentary gradient. The limits of the method are also discussed.
