| Popis: | Objectives.The purpose of this study was to determine, in a large referral population, the rate of echocardiographic change in mitral valve area (MVA) without interim intervention, to determine which factors influence progression of narrowing and to examine associated changes in the right side of the heart.Background.Little information is currently available on the echocardiographic progression of mitral stenosis, particularly on progressive changes in the right side of the heart and the ability of a previously proposed algorithm to predict progression.Methods.We studied 103 patients (mean age 61 years; 74% female) with serial two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography. The average interval between entry and most recent follow-up study was 3.3 ± 2 years (range 1 to 11).Results.During the follow-up period, MVA decreased at a mean rate of 0.09 cm2/year. In 28 patients there was no decrease, in 40 there was only relatively little change ( |
