Conventional and 3D echocardiography play a crucial role in the diagnosis, severity assessment, and follow-up of patients with mitral stenosis.
Echocardiography is a crucial modality for the diagnosis, severity assessment, and follow-up of patients with mitral stenosis.
Supports echocardiography as key modality in mitral stenosis; extends prior syntheses but leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Echocardiography plays a major role in diagnosis, etiology and severity of Mitral Stenosis (MS), analysis of valve anatomy and decision-making for intervention. This technique has also a crucial role to assess consequences of MS and follow up of patients after medical or surgical intervention. In this article we review the role of conventional echocardiography in assessment of mitral stenosis and future direction of this modality using 3D echocardiography.

Omran et al. (2010) conducted a review in Mitral Stenosis. Echocardiography was evaluated. Conventional and 3D echocardiography play a crucial role in the diagnosis, severity assessment, and follow-up of patients with mitral stenosis.
