Özet

Background: Association of valvular heart disease and lipid profile might be important as in the case of aortic stenosis. However, it has not been so far considered in detail the probable association of other valvular diseases, particularly of mitral stenosis (MS) with lipid profile. In our study, we aimed to search possible association of echocardiographic mitral valve score, evaluated according to Wilkins score, with lipid parameters in a group of patients with mitral stenosis, who were referred for possible percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty.
