Background: Mitral stenosis is the most common mitral valve disease found in Indonesia. Mechanical obstruction of blood flow from left atrium to left ventricle is compensated by pressure elevation in the left atrium and pulmonary circulation. It leads to right ventricle dysfunction which can be scored using TAPSE (Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion) Parameter.Aim: The goal of this study is to assess the relationship between mitral valve area and right ventricle function based on TAPSE parameter in mitral stenosis patient.Methods: This study was conducted in Dr. Sardjito Hospital from May until July 2017. This was a part of mitral stenosis registry study. The parameter used was planimetry mitral valve area and TAPSE from echocardiography. The relationship between mitral valve area and TAPSE score we reanalyzed using Spearman correlation test in SPSS software.Results: The total sample included in this study was 132 people, consisted of thirty-eight (28.79%) males and ninety-four (71.21%) females. The range of the subjects’age was 18 68 year oldand the mean was 43.31±11.13 year old. The body mass index median was 21.24 (14.24–35.38) kg/m2. The subjects were dominated by severe degree mitral stenosis patients, those were ninety-three (70.45%) people, followed by moderate degree patients, those were thirty-two (24.24%) people, and mild degree patients, those were seven (5.30%) people. Twenty-eight (21.21%) people had isolated mitral stenosis. The mitral valve area median was 0.8 (0.27–1.90) cm2. The TAPSE score range was 6–30 mm and the mean was 17.48±4.58 mm. The result from Spearman correlation test showed that the relationship strength between mitral valve area and TAPSE score were very weak (r=0.167) with significant p-value (p=0.028).Conclusion: There is a statistically significant positive relationship with very weak strength between mitral valve area and TAPSE score as a right ventricle function parameter in mitral stenosis patients (r = 0.167, p = 0.028).

Objectives: Rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD) is associated with autoimmune heart valve injury. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D are two essential molecules that have effects on the immune system. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between PTH and vitamin D in patients with RMVD. Patients and Methods: We investigated 81 patients with RMVD and 75 healthy subjects. According to Wilkins score, baseline clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters were recorded, and all RMVD patients were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed between the groups. Results: Vitamin D levels were significantly low in the RMVD group. Patients were stratified according to Wilkins score [Wilkins score < 7 (n:50) vs. Wilkins score 7 (n:31)]. Age, BMI, and PTH were significantly higher, and mitral valve area was significantly lower in Wilkins score 7 patients. In multivariate analysis, age (OR: 1.052; 95% CI 1.005-1.100, p=0.028) and PTH (OR: 1.017; 95% CI 1.000-1.033, p=0.047) were found to be independent predictors of high Wilkins score. Conclusion: This study showed that vitamin D levels were low in patients with RMVD. According to the Wilkins score, PTH levels were significantly high in patients with high Wilkins score. The contrary changes in PTH and vitamin D levels may trigger inflammation and be responsible for valve damage.

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, reproducibility and accuracy of Live Three dimensional Echocardiography (3DE), Two dimensional Echocardiography (2DE) and Three dimensional Xplane Echocardiography (3D Xplane) for the estimation of mitral valve area (MVA) and to assess which method has the best agreement with the MVA non- invasively evaluated by the Pressure half time (PHT) method in isolated rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (RMVS).Methods: In 40 patients with isolated RVMS in sinus rhythm (29 female) MVA was determined by Doppler PHT method and compared with measurements obtained by 2DE, Live 3DE and 3D Xplane method. All measurements were performed by two independent observers.Results: For both observers mean MVA was calculated minimum with 3DE (observer 1: 0.68±0.19, observer 2: 0.68±0.19 ). Intraobserver variability was least with 3D Xplane method (observer 1 cv 0.23 , observer 2 cv 0.23). Although there was no significant interobserver variability for each method, it was least for MVA by 3D Xplane method (difference -0.036) and maximum for 3DE method (-0.098) . Difference of each method with PHT showed lowest difference with 3D Xplane (-0.30) and highest with 3DE (-0.63).Conclusions: TTE 3D Xplane provides accurate and highly reproducible measurements of MVA and can easily be performed from optimal PLAX view and corresponding parasternal short-axis views acquired in the same bisected image using 3D Xplane technique . It was much easier and faster to define the image plane in short axis with the smallest orifice area when 3D Xplane method was used.Nepalese Heart Journal 2017; Vol 14(2), 13-17DOI

Abstract Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is still a concerning issue in developing countries. Among delayed RHD presentations, rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (MS) remains a prevalent finding. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is the intervention of choice for severe mitral stenosis (MS). We aimed to assess the mid-term outcome of PTMC in patients with immediate success. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, out of 220 patients who had undergone successful PTMC between 2006 and 2018, the clinical course of 186 patients could be successfully followed. Cardiac-related death, undergoing a second PTMC or mitral valve replacement (MVR) were considered adverse cardiac events for the purpose of this study. In order to find significant factors related to adverse cardiac outcomes, peri-procedural data for the studied patients were collected.The patients were also contacted to find out their current clinical status and whether they had continued secondary antibiotic prophylaxis regimen or not. Those who had not suffered from the adverse cardiac events were additionally asked to undergo echocardiographic imaging, in order to assess the prevalence of mitral valve restenosis, defined as mitral valve area (MVA) < 1.5 cm2 and loss of ≥ 50% of initial area gain. Results During the mean follow-up time of 5.69 ± 3.24 years, 31 patients (16.6% of patients) had suffered from adverse cardiac events. Atrial fibrillation rhythm (p = 0.003, HR = 3.659), Wilkins echocardiographic score > 8 (p = 0.028, HR = 2.320) and higher pre-procedural systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (p = 0.021, HR = 1.031) were three independent predictors of adverse events and immediate post-PTMC mitral valve area (IMVA) ≥ 2 cm2 (p < 0.001, HR = 0.06) was the significant predictor of event-free outcome. Additionally, follow-up echocardiographic imaging detected mitral restenosis in 44 patients (23.6% of all patients). The only statistically significant protective factor against restenosis was again IMVA ≥ 2 cm2 (p = 0.001, OR = 0.240). Conclusion The mid-term results of PTMC are multifactorial and may be influenced by heterogeneous peri-procedural determinants. IMVA had a great impact on the long-term success of this procedure. Continuing secondary antibiotic prophylaxis was not a protective factor against adverse cardiac events in this study. (clinicaltrial.gov registration: NCT04112108).

Background To quantify valvular morphological assessment, some two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) scoring systems have been developed to target the patients for balloon mitral valvuloplasty; however, each scoring system has some potential limitations. To achieve the best scoring system with the most features and the least restrictions, it is necessary to check the degree of overlap of these systems. Also the factors related to the accuracy of these systems should be studied. We aimed to determine the correlation between the 2D Wilkins and real-time transesophageal three-dimensional (RT3D-TEE) scoring systems. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 156 patients with moderate to severe mitral stenosis who were candidates for percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. To morphologic assessment of mitral valve, patients were examined by 2D-transthoracic echocardiography and RT3D-TEE techniques on the same day. Results A strong association was found between total Wilkins and total RT3D-TEE scores (r = 0.809, p < 0.001). The mean mitral valve area assessed by the 2D and 3D was 1.07 ± 0.25 and 1.03 ± 0.26, respectively, indicating a mean difference of 0.037 cm2 (p = 0.001). We found a strong correlation between the values of mitral valve area assessed by 2D and 3D techniques (r = 0.846, p < 0.001). Conclusion There is a high correlation between the two scoring systems in terms of evaluating dominant morphological features. Partially, mitral valve area overestimation in the 2D-transthoracic echocardiography and its inability to assess commissural involvement as well as its dependence on patient age were exceptions in this study.
