Özet

Background and aim of the study: In mitral stenosis (MS) patients, resting hemodynamic data do not always correlate with symptom severity. Stress tests may be carried out in these patients, but the mechanisms of different hemodynamic and clinical responses to stress are not clearly established. The study aim was to evaluate hemodynamic changes that correlate with dyspnea development during dobutamine infusion (DI) in patients with MS, and to assess determinants of transmitral gradient response.
