Impact of 3D echocardiography on grading of mitral stenosis and prediction of clinical events

[摘要] BackgroundThe mitral valve orifice area (MVOA) is difficult to assess accurately by 2D echocardiography because of geometric assumptions; therefore, 3D planimetry may offer advantages. We studied the differences in MVOA measurements between the most frequ
