Abstract

Background and aim of the study: The study aim was to examine tissue expression of the adhesion molecules E-selectin and P-selectin on atrial, valvular and atrial myocardial blood vessel endothelium in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis, and to investigate whether such expression was correlated with hemodynamics.
