The reported results of pulmonary function testing in patients with mitral stenosis are summarized, including a few studies done after operative correction of the mitral stenosis. The physiologic effects of increased pulmonary water explain most of the reversible abnormalities in pulmonary function. Fixed pathologic changes that occur with longstanding interstitial edema may account for the irreversible nature of other alterations in pulmonary function.
本文总结了二尖瓣狭窄患者肺功能测试的报告结果，包括一些二尖瓣狭窄手术矫正后的研究。肺内液体增加的生理效应解释了肺功能中大多数可逆性异常。长期间质性水肿导致的固定性病理改变可能是肺功能其他改变不可逆的原因。
