Key result
Mitral stenosis was associated with a significantly reduced peak filling rate and striking nonuniformity of regional diastolic wall motion compared to normal subjects.

Regional diastolic nonuniformity in mitral stenosis may warrant targeted assessment; leaves open effects on outcomes and need for prospective trials.
Observational (n=34)
Mitral stenosis is associated with significant regional asynchrony and nonuniformity in left ventricular diastolic wall motion, independent of the reduced filling rate.
Lee et al. (1983) conducted an observational in Mitral stenosis (n=34). Mitral stenosis vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Peak filling rate and regional diastolic wall motion. Mitral stenosis was associated with a significantly reduced peak filling rate and striking nonuniformity of regional diastolic wall motion compared to normal subjects.
