Mitral Valve Stenosis

Mitral valve stenosis, (mitral stenosis) is a narrowing of the mitral valve. With narrowing, the valve does not open properly and obstructs blood flow between the left chambers of the heart..

Symptoms of Mitral Valve Stenosis : -

Signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis depend on how severely and quickly the condition develops. Some people never develop symptoms

Some have mild problems that suddenly get worse. Signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis include : -

* Shortness of breath, especially with physical exertion (exercise) or when the person lies down

* Fatigue, especially during increased activity

* Swollen feet or ankles

* Heart palpitations - sensations of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat

* Dizziness or fainting spells

* Frequent respiratory infections, such as bronchitis

* Heavy coughing, sometimes with blood-tinged sputum

* Rarely, chest discomfort or chest pain

Causes of Mitral Valve Stenosis : -

The mitral valve can narrow because of conditions that include : -

* Rheumatic fever : - In some people, the body's response to the strep throat infection leads to mitral valve damage that causes the valve to become inflamed, thicken, and leak (mitral regurgitation). This inflammatory process can cause the valve to fuse and harden, resulting in mitral stenosis. People who have had rheumatic fever may have both mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation.

* Congenital heart defect : - Some infants are born with a narrowed mitral valve and develop mitral stenosis early in life. Babies born with this problem usually require heart surgery to fix the valve. Others are born with a malformed mitral valve and have a risk of developing mitral stenosis when they're older.

Symptoms of Mitral Valve Regurgitation

Signs and symptoms of mitral regurgitation depend on how severely and quickly the condition develops. Most often, mitral regurgitation is mild, and severe mitral regurgitation develops slowly. If no symptoms develop for decades, the patient may not know the condition is present..

Indicators of mitral regurgitation include : -

* Shortness of breath, especially with physical exertion or when the person lies down

* Fatigue, especially during increased activity

* Cough, especially at night or when lying down

* Awakening at night with shortness of breath

* Heart palpitations - sensations of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat

* Swollen feet or ankles
