May support CMR planimetry as noninvasive alternative to 3D TEE; leaves open prospective outcome validation before practice change.

Planimetric CMR is a viable noninvasive alternative to 3D TEE for assessing mitral valve area in rheumatic mitral stenosis.
Uygur et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Rheumatic mitral stenosis (n=28). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) vs. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) was evaluated on Planimetric mitral valve area (MVA) (r=0.744, p=<0.0001). Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of planimetric mitral valve area was highly correlated with 3D transesophageal echocardiography in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (r=0.744, P<0.0001).
