Reference Values for Physical Stress Echocardiography in Asymptomatic Patients after Mitral Valve Repair

Reference Values for Physical Stress Echocardiography in Asymptomatic Patients after Mitral Valve Repair

BackgroundClinical decision-making in symptomatic patients after mitral valve (MV) repair remains challenging as echocardiographic reference values are lacking. In native MV disease intervention is recommended for mean transmitral pressure gradient (TPG) >15 mmHg or systolic pulmonary artery...
