Worsening of left ventricular twist mechanics in isolated rheumatic mitral stenosis immediately after balloon mitral valvuloplasty
Background: Reportedly, left ventricular (LV) mechanics are worsened in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) compared to controls. The immediate effect of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) on LV mechanics is, however, not known. Aim: To assess the immediate effect of balloon mitral valvuloplasty on t...
