Why the study?
Does the combination of left ventriculography and intravenous atropine improve the hemodynamic evaluation of mitral stenosis severity in patients with low baseline gradients?
Population
28 patients with mitral stenosis undergoing cardiac catheterization

May aid reclassification of low-gradient mitral stenosis during catheterization; leaves open effects on management and outcomes.
Does the combination of left ventriculography and intravenous atropine improve the hemodynamic evaluation of mitral stenosis severity in patients with low baseline gradients?
The combination of left ventriculography and intravenous atropine effectively increases mitral valve flow during cardiac catheterization, aiding in the accurate assessment of mitral stenosis severity in patients with low baseline gradients.
