Overview
Lutembacher's syndromeis a rare form of congenital heart disease. It refers to a combination of congenital atrial septal defect complicated by an acquired mitral stenosis.
Epidemiology and Demographics
This is a very rare disease. The incidence is 0.001/1000000[1].
Complications and Prognosis
Complications are usually related to a late diagnosis. They include pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment has a good prognostic value.
