Objective: Rheumatic carditis-induced mitral valve disease is associated with a chronic
inflammatory process. The close relationship between inflammation and prothrombotic …

Background Rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (RMVS)-induced left atrial thrombus (LAT) and
embolic complications may have clinically devastating consequences. Stasis in the left …

Objective: The role of systemic and chronic inflammatory processes in the pathophysiology
of rheumatic heart valve disease is well known. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) …

Background: Rheumatismal mitral stenosis is less common today than it was several
decades ago, but it is a common cause of mitral stenosis (MS) in the developing world. Mitral …

Background Patients with mitral stenosis (MS) are more prone to develop left atrial (LA)
thrombus. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the frequency of LA …

Background: Although it has declined in developed countries, mitral valve stenosis is
problematic in developing countries; its main cause is rheumatic fever. In patients with …

Objective: To determine the frequency of Left Atrial thrombus in patients suffering from
severe mitral stenosis with atrial fibrillation. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive type study …

Objective: Although the role of platelet activation has been debated in patients with mitral
stenosis (MS) and spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (SEC), data on differences in …

The aim of the study is to investigate the association between the severity of rheumatic mitral
valvular disease (RMVD) and the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR). A total of 227 patients …

Background: Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) causes stagnation of blood flow, leading to
thrombus formation in the left atrium (LA), which may lead to systemic thromboembolic …
