From: Additive value of 3D-echo in prediction of immediate outcome after percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty

		Pre-procedural		Post-procedural		P
MV Mean gradient		19.8 ± 5.7		7.5 ± 3.8		< 0.0001
MV Max gradient		31.1 ± 8.5		16.1 ± 6.4		< 0.0001
PSPAP		57.6 ± 11.5		39.0 ± 8.3		< 0.0001
MV area	2D PHT	0.96 ± 0.16	p = 0.244	–	p = 0.008	< 0.0001
	2D planimetry	0.92 ± 0.15		1.70 ± 0.29		< 0.0001
	3D planimetry	0.97 ± 0.16		1.85 ± 0.36		< 0.0001
