The goal of this study was to compare echocardiographic differences between DMS and rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS), identify echocardiographic variables reflective of DMS severity, and propose a dimensionless mitral stenosis index (DMSI) for assessment of DMS severity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is a single\u2010center, retrospective cohort study. We included patients with at least mild MS and a mean transmitral pressure gradient (TMPG) \u22654\u00a0mm\u00a0Hg. Mitral valve area by the continuity equation (MVA<jats:sub>CEQ<\/jats:sub>) was used as an independent reference. The DMSI was calculated as follows: DMSI\u00a0=\u00a0VTI<jats:sub>LVOT<\/jats:sub>\/ VTI<jats:sub>MV.<\/jats:sub> All\u2010cause mortality data were collected retrospectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 64 patients with DMS and 24 patients with RMS were identified. MVA<jats:sub>CEQ<\/jats:sub> was larger in patients with DMS (1.43\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.4\u00a0cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) than RMS (0.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.3 cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) by ~0.5\u00a0cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0&lt;.001), and mean TMPG was lower in the DMS group (6.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02 vs 7.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03\u00a0mm\u00a0Hg, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.003). A DMSI of \u22640.50 and \u22640.351 was associated with MVA<jats:sub>CEQ<\/jats:sub> \u22641.5 and MVA<jats:sub>CEQ<\/jats:sub> \u22641.0\u00a0cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001), respectively. With the progression of DMS from severe to very severe, there was a significant drop in DMSI. There was a nonsignificant trend toward worse survival in patients with MVA<jats:sub>CEQ<\/jats:sub> \u22641.0\u00a0cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and DMSI \u22640.35, suggesting severe stenosis severity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results show that TMPG correlates poorly with MVA in patients with DMS.
