Abstract

Objective-In order to evaluate the prevalence of angiographically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with predominant mitral stenosis (mitral valve area less than or equal to 1.5 cm(2)), coronary angiograms of the 837 consecutive patients with mitral stenosis (482 women and 355 men; median age = 50 years [ranging from 35 to 77]) were retrospectively analysed.
