Wilkins Mitral Valve Echo Score

Wilkins mitral-valve echo score (1988): leaflet mobility + thickening + calcification + subvalvular thickening, each 1-4 (total 4-16); <= 8 favorable for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty.

Result: Wilkins score 8 — favorable for balloon valvuloplasty (<= 8).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

<= 8
Favorable for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty.
9-12
Intermediate.
>= 13
Unfavorable (mobility + thickening + calcification + subvalvular, each 1-4). An anatomy score, not a diagnosis.

What you enter

  • Leaflet mobility (1-4)
  • Leaflet thickening (1-4)
  • Leaflet calcification (1-4)
  • Subvalvular thickening (1-4)
