Clinical Characteristics, Hemodynamic Profile, and Outcomes in Patients With Low‐Gradient and High‐Gradient Severe Mitral Stenosis: Influence of Flow Status Open
Background In severe mitral stenosis (MS), flow‐status was recently recognized as potentially impactful in some patients with low transmitral gradients. Methods We studied 172 patients with isolated rheumatic MS with mitral valve area ≤1.5…

Clinical and echocardiographic differences between rheumatic and degenerative mitral stenosis Open
Introduction: Degenerative mitral stenosis (DMS) is frequently cited as increasing in prevalence in the developed world, although comparatively little is known about DMS in comparison to rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS). Method: A retrospec…

Impact of Net Atrioventricular Compliance on Mitral Valve Area Assessment—A Perspective Considering Three-Dimensional Mitral Valve Area by Transesophageal Echocardiography Open
Background: Net atrioventricular compliance (Cn) can affect the accuracy of mitral valve area (MVA) assessment. We assessed how different methods of MVA assessment are affected by Cn, and if patients with abnormal Cn may be identified by c…

Combining 2D Planimetry and Yeo’s Index Can Help Accurately Identify Patients with Severe Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis—A Perspective from a 3D Assessment Using Transoesophageal Echocardiography Open
Background: Yeo’s index is a novel measure of the severity of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (MS). It is derived from the product of the mitral leaflet separation index and dimensionless index. This study aims to validate Yeo’s index usin…

Prognostic value of left atrial volume index in degenerative mitral stenosis Open
Purpose Degenerative mitral stenosis (DMS) is associated with a poor prognosis. Although mean transmitral gradient (TMG) has shown a good correlation with outcome, little is known about the association between other echocardiographic param…

Clinical and echocardiographic characteristics associated with the development of infective endocarditis in patients with significant mitral stenosis Open
Background Infective endocarditis (IE) confers significant mortality and morbidity in patients with underlying mitral stenosis (MS), with both diseased native valves and after valvular procedures. Purpose We examined the clinical and echoc…
