Summary
The investigator hypothesize that High Spinal Anesthesia (HSA) by its effect on attenuation
of stress response, decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance, myocardial protection and
positive myocardial oxygen balance will cause improvement in right ventricular function. So
far there is no study that has evaluated the effect of HSA anesthesia on the right
ventricular function, hence the investigator planned this study to compare the effect of HSA
on the right ventricular function in patients with mitral valve disease with moderate to
severe pulmonary hypertension planned for mitral valve replacement surgery.
