Acute Impact of Balloon Mitral Valvotomy on Left Atrial Functions in Mitral Stenosis

Conclusion: Successful BMV leads to early improvement in left atrial reservoir and conduit functions, without significantly affecting left atrial pump function. Whether these acute changes translate into long term left atrial reverse remodelling and clinical benefits thereof needs to be established by further studies.Keywords:Balloon mitral valvotomy,Left Atrial Functions,Left Atrial Volume,Mitral stenosis,rheumatic heart diseaseView:PDF (507.37 KB)Click here to download the PDF file.‹ Gamma Glutamyl Transferase Levels In Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional StudyTreatment Optimization in Newly Diagnosed Hypertensives using WHO/ISH Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Chart: Findings from ‘Great Indian BP Survey’, Puducherry ›
