Assessment of interatrial dyssynchrony by Tissue Doppler Imaging in mitral stenosis: Effect of afterload reduction after balloon mitral valvuloplasty
Background: The predisposition to atrial fibrillation (AF) in mitral stenosis (MS) has been demonstrated with several electrocardiographic (increased P-wave dispersion) and echocardiographic parameters (atrial electromechanical delay). After percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), the impr...
