OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether noninvasive planimetry of the mitral valve area (MVA) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is feasible and reliable in patients with mitral stenosis (MS).BACKGROUND Accurate assessment of MVA is particularly important for the management of patients with valvular stenosis. Current standard techniques for assessing the severity of MS include echocardiography (ECHO) and cardiac catheterization (CATH).METHODS In 22 patients with suspected or known MS, planimetry of MVA was performed with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance scanner using a breath-hold balanced gradient echo sequence (true FISP). Data were compared with echocardiographically determined MVA (ECHO-MVA, n = 22), as well as with invasively calculated MVA by the Gorlin-formula at (CATH-MVA, n = 17).RESULTS The correlation between MRI- and CATH-MVA was 0.89 (p < 0.0001), and the correlation between MRI- and ECHO-MVA was 0.81 (p < 0.0001). The MRI-MVA slightly overestimated CATH-MVA by 5.0% (1.60 +/- 0.45 cm(2) VS. 1.52 +/- 0.49 cm(2), p = NS) and ECHO-MVA by 8.1% (1.61 +/- 0.42 cm(2) VS. 1.48 +/- 0.42 cm(2), P < 0.05). On receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, a value of MRI-MVA below 1.65 cm 2 indicated mitral stenosis (CATH-MVA
