Mitral VR is the strongest and the independent predictor of both resting and stress PAP in patients with MS and by this aspect it is superior to mitral valve area and mean transmitral gradient in the expression of stenosis severity. These results underline the importance of mitral VR as a severity index in patients with MS.
