The paper describes the phases of diastole and syndromes of mitral valvular disease, discussing their bearing upon the genesis of the third heart sound.
This paper provides a descriptive overview of the hemodynamic phases of diastole in mitral valve disease and their relationship to the third heart sound.

May refine S3 assessment in mitral disease; leaves open validation with contemporary hemodynamics.
The diastolic events of the left side of the heart are modified by the obstruction of mitral stenosis and the disordered heart volumes of mitral incompetence, and tracings that illustrate the abnormali- ties have great diagnostic value. Methods developed recently for measuring pressure and movement simultaneously with the heart sounds have allowed records of the patterns of diastolic left heart activity to supplement the physical examination in clinical practice. A degree of confusion has been caused by the use of similar terms in different contexts, and by the failure to recognize the occurrence, significance, or coincidence of certain events. This paper describes the phases of diastole and the syndromes of mitral valvular disease that were observed in the ward and the laboratory, and discusses their bearing upon the genesis of the third heart sound.
