Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Real time three-dimensional echocardiography demonstrates significant early improvement in left atrial function and asynchrony immediately following percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in patients with mitral stenosis.
Real time three-dimensional echocardiography is a reliable and reproducible method to quantify LA function and asynchrony. RT3DE revealed a significant, early improvement in LA function and asynchrony in MS patients after PBMV.
