Mitral stenosis is a heart disease that affects the mitral valve. This condition causes the valve to narrow, which can lead to a variety of health problems.
Causes[edit]
Mitral stenosis is most commonly caused by rheumatic fever, a condition that can develop after a streptococcal infection. Other causes can include congenital heart defects, calcification of the mitral valve, and endocarditis.
Symptoms[edit]
Symptoms of mitral stenosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and palpitations. In severe cases, mitral stenosis can lead to heart failure.
Diagnosis[edit]
Mitral stenosis is typically diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests. These tests can include an echocardiogram, chest X-ray, and cardiac catheterization.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for mitral stenosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Options can include medication, surgery, and lifestyle changes. In severe cases, a mitral valve replacement may be necessary.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for individuals with mitral stenosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's overall health. With proper treatment, many individuals can lead a normal life.
