Why the study?
Does the 2D mitral leaflet separation index (MLSI 2D) improve the evaluation of mitral stenosis severity in patients with mitral stenosis?
Does the 2D mitral leaflet separation index (MLSI 2D) improve the evaluation of mitral stenosis severity in patients with mitral stenosis?
The 2D mitral leaflet separation index provides a simple, highly sensitive method for assessing mitral stenosis severity that correlates excellently with 3D transesophageal planimetry.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MLSI 2D may aid MS severity grading by less experienced operators; leaves open need for outcome validation before wider adoption.
Bigdelu et al. (2018) studied this question.
