Mitral Stenosis
-
-
Diagnosis
-
Echocardiogram
-
Assess mitral valve mobility, gradient and mitral valve area
-
-
Epidemiology
-
Most common causes are rheumatic heart disease due to rheumatic fever. Other causes include infective endocarditis & mitral annular calcification
-
Pathophysiology
In order for sufficient cardiac output to be maintained, the left atrial pressure increases and left atrial hypertrophy and dilation occur
Thickening and immobility of the valve leads to obstruction of blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle
