To study the sequence of changes in respiratory function that occur in the natural history of mitral stenosis, and the physiological basis of "cardiac dyspnea", 30 patients with chronic mitral valve disease were subjected to detailed pulmonary function tests. There was no significant change in vital capacity and functional residual capacity. The reduction in maximal mid-expiratory flow rate showed excellent correlation with the respiratory symptoms. The pulmonary capillary blood volume was increased in moderately advanced cases but was consistently reduced in the severest cases. Hyperventilation was due to an increased respiratory rate. Dyspnea was associated with increased respiratory work owing to the interrelation between the reduction in diffusion capacity, compliance, cardiac output, the increase in airway resistance, and the uneven ventilation and perfusion of the lungs. The amount of "effort" required to breathe is incommensurate with the external load in these patients.
