Cardiac catheterization
A definitive method of assessing the severity of mitral stenosis is the simultaneous left heart catheterization and right heart catheterization. The right heart catheterization gives the physician the mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, which is a reflection of the left atrial pressure. The left heart catheterization, on the other hand, gives the pressure in the left ventricle. By simultaneously taking these pressures, it is possible to determine the gradient between the left atrium and right atrium during ventricular diastole, which is a marker for the severity of mitral stenosis. This method of evaluating mitral stenosis tend to over-estimate the degree of mitral stenosis, however, because of the time lag in the pressure tracings seen on the right heart catheterization and the slow Y descent seen on the wedge tracings. If a trans-septal puncture is made during right heart catheterization, however, the pressure gradient can accurately quantify the severity of mitral stenosis.
ACC/AHA Guidelines-Indications for Invasive Hemodynamic Evaluation (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
class i
1 Cardiac catheterization for hemodynamic evaluation should be performed for assessment of severity of MS when noninvasive tests are inconclusive or when there is discrepancy between noninvasive tests and clinical findings regarding severity of MS. (Level of Evidence: C) 2 Catheterization for hemodynamic evaluation including left ventriculography (to evaluate severity of MR) for patients with MS is indicated when there is a discrepancy between the Doppler-derived mean gradient and valve area. (Level of Evidence: C) class iia
1 Cardiac catheterization is reasonable to assess the hemodynamic response of pulmonary artery and left atrial pressures to exercise when clinical symptoms and resting hemodynamics are discordant. (Level of Evidence: C) 2 Cardiac catheterization is reasonable in patients with MS to assess the cause of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension when out of proportion to severity of MS as determined by noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: C) class iii
1. Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is not recommended to assess the MV hemodynamics when 2D and Doppler echocardiographic data are concordant with clinical findings. (Level of Evidence: C)
ACC/AHA Guidelines-Prevention of Systemic Embolization (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Class I1. Anticoagulation is indicated in patients with MS and atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent). (Level of Evidence: B) 2. Anticoagulation is indicated in patients with MS and a prior embolic event, even in sinus rhythm. (Level of Evidence: B) 3. Anticoagulation is indicated in patients with MS with left atrial thrombus. (Level of Evidence: B) Class IIb1. Anticoagulation may be considered for asymptomatic patients with severe MS and left atrial dimension greater than or equal to 55 mm by echocardiography.* (Level of Evidence: B) 2. Anticoagulation may be considered for patients with severe MS, an enlarged left atrium, and spontaneous contrast on echocardiography. (Level of Evidence: C) |
