Echocardiogram (Echo) is performed to confirm mitral stenosis. Size of the mitral valve and the chambers can be measured along with the pressure gradient across the valve and pulmonary artery.

The echocardiogram reveals the presence of 2 major problems. On the one hand, the patient has mitral stenosis; on the other hand, a thrombus is noted in the left atrium.

A novel technology called intravascular lithotripsy-facilitated percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (IVL-PBMV) shows promise for treating patients with severe calcific mitral stenosis (MS ...

Alexander JH et al. Feasibility of point-of-care echo by non-cardiologist physicians to assess left ventricular function, pericardial effusion, mitral regurgitation and aortic valve thickening ...

In mitral stenosis, ... An echocardiogram does not hurt, causes no internal harm, and has no side effects. A doctor may also recommend an MRI or CT scan for diagnosis. Treatment.

Previous studies have shown that transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior to transthroracic echocardiography (TTE) when assessing the feasibility of mitral valve repair and predicting ...

Mitral valve stenosis (MVS) is a form of valvular heart disease that can occur when the mitral valve opening becomes narrow, stiff, and unable to fully open to allow the blood to flow through.

Treatment of mitral valve stenosis; ... A treadmill exercise echocardiogram is performed and her pulmonary artery systolic pressure increases to 70 mmHg.

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 ...
