Key result
Left ventricular functional impairment occurs in approximately 25-30% of patients with isolated pure mitral stenosis and is better detected by two-dimensional strain imaging than conventional echocardiography.

Sudeb Mukherjee (2018) conducted a review in Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis. Two-dimensional (2D) strain and strain rate imaging vs. Conventional echocardiography was evaluated. Left ventricular functional impairment occurs in approximately 25-30% of patients with isolated pure mitral stenosis and is better detected by two-dimensional strain imaging than conventional echocardiography.
