Advances in the treatment of congenital cardiovascular lesions have led to a renewed interest in the treatment of acquired heart disease. Although this field could best be served by the perfection of the extracorporal heart, such devices are as yet not ready for human application. Meanwhile, various approaches through the ventricles and left atrium have been developed to treat valvular stenosis. Refinements in diagnostic tests and in methods of physiological investigation are of great aid in the proper evaluation of patients.
先天性心血管病变治疗方法的进展引发了人们对后天性心脏病治疗的新兴趣。尽管体外心脏的完善能为该领域带来最大益处，但此类设备尚未准备好应用于人体。与此同时，已经开发出各种经心室和左心房的方法来治疗瓣膜狭窄。诊断测试和生理研究方法的改进对正确评估患者有很大帮助。
