Does a scoring system incorporating new quantitative echocardiographic parameters more accurately predict outcome following PMV than existing models?
A new echocardiographic scoring system improves the prediction of long-term event-free survival following percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty compared to existing models.
A scoring system incorporating new quantitative echocardiographic parameters more accurately predicts outcome following PMV than existing models. Long-term post-PMV event-free survival was predicted by age, degree of mitral regurgitation, and postprocedural hemodynamic data.
