Grading severity of mitral stenosis by echocardiography

Grading severity of mitral stenosis by echocardiography
  Progressive* Severe¶ Very severeΔ
Valve area (cm2) >1.5 <=1.5 ≤1
Diastolic pressure half-time (ms) <150 ≥150  ≥220 
Mean gradient◊ (mmHg) <5 >5 >10
Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (mmHg) <30 >30 >50
*This category was previously labeled "mild".
¶This category was previously labeled "moderate".
ΔThis category was previously labeled "severe".
◊Transmitral mean pressure gradient ranges in sinus rhythm are shown, but these vary with heart rate and forward flow.
