Abstract
Previous data from our laboratory in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) studied with biplane angiography has revealed abnormalities in the contraction pattern of the interventricular septum (1). Possible determinants of abnormal septal motion in patients with isolated MS are altered left ventricular (LV) shape during diastole, impaired contractility of the septum, or the influence of right ventricular (RV) pressure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate LV function in isolated MS and to determine the underlying mechanism of abnormal septal motion by correlating echocardiographic with hemodynamic and angiographic results.
