The severity of mitral stenosis was assessed; planimetry results revealed a mean gradient of 13 mm Hg and a 1-cm 2 valve area. On the basis of this assessment, mitral stenosis in this patient is ...

Degenerative mitral stenosis causes progressive reduction ... measurements that are not dependent on loading conditions, such as direct planimetry of a stenotic valve or, for regurgitant lesions ...

Mitral valve stenosis, also known as mitral stenosis, occurs when the mitral valve opening is narrowed. This means that not enough blood can flow through it. Scarring caused by rheumatic fever is ...

although cusp separation by M-mode echocardiography of 12 mm or greater suggests absence of critical stenosis. Heavy calcification reduces the accuracy of planimetry for valve area measurement ...

HEMOPTYSIS occurs quite frequently as a consequence of mitral stenosis, but massive, life-threatening pulmonary hemorrhage is distinctly unusual. 1–4,5,6 Oppenheimer and Schwartz 3 have termed ...

12 which was due to organic mitral-valve disease identified by two-dimensional echocardiography, isolated (without aortic-valve disease) and pure (without stenosis), quantitatively assessed by the ...

Patients with mitral stenosis and A-fib appear to do better when they receive direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) instead of warfarin, an observational analysis suggests. The data, while not randomized ...

for severe symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis will have good outcomes without the need for reintervention for up to 23 years of follow-up, a Brazilian study suggests. At a single center with ...

Mitral valve stenosis is a form of valvular heart disease. It occurs when there is a narrowing of the mitral valve, which restricts the flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
