Mitral valve area measured by planimetry. Using a cineloop acquired at the mitral valve leaflet tips, the point in diastole corresponding to the maximal opening is identified. The area pre-device as well as post-device are planimetered. Post-device, the mitral valve orifice area is the sum of the area of each of the two orifices.

The pressure half time (PHT) measurement for assessing the severity of mitral stenosis is a widely accepted echocardiographic method.

The decline of the velocity of diastolic transmitral blood flow is inversely proportional to mitral valve area (MVA), and MVA is derived using the empirical formula: MVA (cm^2) = 220/PHT PHT is calculated automatically by tracing the deceleration slope of the E-wave of transmitral flow, obtained with continuous wave Doppler echocardiography.

Class I: Patients with cardiac disease but without resulting limitations of physical activity.

Class II: Patients with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. Patients are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or anginal pain.

Class III: Patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palpitation dyspnea, or anginal pain.

Class IV: Patients with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac insufficiency or of the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased.
