Özet

Background and aim of the study: Although mitral valve (MV) resistance has been proposed as a new index for the determination of hemodynamic consequence in patients with mitral stenosis (MS), the relationship between this resistance and signs of hemodynamic deterioration, such as the elevation of pulmonary artery pressure and plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), has not yet been investigated.
