Why the study?
Current 2D echocardiography scores for selecting BMV candidates have limitations, prompting comparison between the 3D-Anwar and 2D-Wilkins scores to determine the additive value of 3DE for outcome prediction.
Does 3D-Anwar score improve the prediction of immediate post-procedural outcomes compared to 2D-Wilkins score in patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty?
Comparison
3D-Anwar score vs 2D-Wilkins score

May refine pre-procedural risk assessment in mitral valvuloplasty; hypothesis-generating and warrants prospective validation.
Does 3D-Anwar score improve the prediction of immediate post-procedural outcomes compared to 2D-Wilkins score in patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty?
3D echocardiography using the Anwar score provides superior prediction of immediate post-procedural outcomes and suboptimal results after balloon mitral valvuloplasty compared to the traditional 2D Wilkins score.
