Abstract


Atrial fibrillation (AF) predispositionin mitral stenosis (MS) has been studiedusing man
aphic (increased P-wave dispersion) and echocardiographic parameters (interatria
cal delay). There are scarce data on the effect of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplast
 interatrial electromechanical coupling in patients with MS. We aimed to assess the interatria
cal coupling in MS before and after PBMVby tissue Doppler imaging (TDI
