Summary
Mitral stenosis (MS) is a condition where there is disruption of flow from left atrium to the ventricle due to disorder of mitral valve opening. Krevani CK et al: Association of Posterior to Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflets Length Ratio with Severity of Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis (rheumatic mitral stenosis/RMS). Posterior to anterior mitral valve leaflets length ratio (PMVL/ AMVL ratio) was proposed to be one of the semi-quantitative measurement which offered a simple, easy and accurate method in determining the severity of RMS. The aim of this study was to see the association of posterior to anterior mitral valve leaflets length ratio with severity of rheumatic mitral stenosis. The subjects were all patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis who underwent echocardiography examination to measure the PMVL/AMVL ratio as well as determining the severity based on mitral valve area (MVA) planimetry. One-way ANOVA analytic test was used to assess the association of ratio PMVL/AMVL and severity of the RMS. Conclusion: The PMVL/AMVL ratio is significantly associated with severity of RMS
