Includes bibliographical references. Rheumatic heart disease is still the most common cause of valvular heart lesions requiring replacement or repair procedures worldwide. In South Africa, where there is an interesting mix of first and third world dynamics, factors sustaining the epidemic of rheumatic disease are still commonplace. The choice of appropriate valve procedure and prosthesis in our setting will depend on an adequate knowledge of short and long term outcomes of valve replacement and repair. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the demographics and presentation of our rheumatic and non-rheumatic patients and to determine if our current implantation choices could be validated. 2015-01-06T06:56:20Z 2015-01-06T06:56:20Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11525 eng application/pdf Division of Cardiology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
