Abstract
Urotensin II was elevated in patients with rheumatic left-sided valvular regurgitation, and positively correlated with increased LVEDD (in both MR and AR), LVESD (only AR) and pulmonary artery pressure (only MR). Therefore, urotensin II level may be used as diagnostic biomarker in patients with rheumatic valvular diseases for assessment of the severity in parallel with echocardiography.
