Effect of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty on left ventricular function in rheumatic mitral stenosis
Objective: Patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis, despite having normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF), have ventricular dysfunction in the form of impaired longitudinal excursion. Tissue Doppler velocity is a useful indicator for assessment of long-axis ventricular shortening and leng...
