Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hypertension (PH) complicates mitral stenosis (MS), and this study investigates the role of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and right atrial pressure (RAP) in predicting outcomes for patients with rheumatic MS undergoing percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV).
- The study included 58 patients, dividing them based on PVR levels, and assessed outcomes like death and the need for further interventions during follow-up.
- Results indicated that RAP was a significant independent predictor of adverse outcomes, while PVR did not demonstrate the expected prognostic significance, suggesting that RAP is more critical in monitoring these patients.

Background: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) are utilized for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD) significance. We aimed to analyze their concordance and prognostic impact.
Aims: We aimed to analyze the concordance between QFR and MPS and their risk stratification.
