Popis: Objective This study evaluated the feasibility of assessing left atrium (LA) function and asynchrony in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) before and immediately after percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) by real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE). Methods Thirty patients with rheumatic MS who underwent PBMV and 30 controls were enrolled. RT3DE was used to measure LA volume and function, the standard deviation of time to the minimal systolic volume divided into 16 segments, 12 segments, or 6 segments (Tmsv 16-SD, Tmsv 12-SD, Tmsv 6-SD), and the maximum differences (Tmsv 16-Dif, 12-Dif, 6-Dif) in RT3DE derived values in MS patients before and 2 days after PBMV were obtained and compared with those of normal controls. The associations between the LA asynchrony and heart volume, function, mitral valve area (MVA), maximum mitral valve gradient (MVGmax), mean mitral valve gradient (MVGmean), and mean LA pressure (MLAP) were investigated. Results Left atrium asynchrony indexes were significantly larger, and LA function parameters were significantly lower in the MS group than in the controls (P
