Key result
Net atrioventricular compliance strongly correlated with exercise pulmonary artery pressure (r=-0.85) in patients with mitral stenosis, with lower compliance linked to worse symptoms (P<0.025).

Does net atrioventricular compliance correlate with pulmonary artery pressure during exercise in patients with mitral stenosis?
Effect estimate: r=-0.85
Net atrioventricular compliance is a key physiological determinant of pulmonary artery pressure in mitral stenosis, explaining why some patients develop severe pulmonary hypertension and symptoms during exercise despite a relatively large mitral valve area.
Schwammenthal et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis (n=20). Assessment of net atrioventricular compliance (C(n)) was evaluated on Correlation between net AV compliance and exercise pulmonary artery pressure (r=-0.85). Net atrioventricular compliance strongly correlated with exercise pulmonary artery pressure (r=-0.85) in patients with mitral stenosis, with lower compliance linked to worse symptoms (P<0.025).
