Overview
Lutembacher's syndrome is a rare disease with an incidence of approximately 0.001/1000000.
Epidemiology
The incidence is approximately 0.001/1000000.[1] This syndrome is more frequently seen in adults because the mitral stenosis is usually an acquired valvulopathy of rheumatic origin. It is also more commonly observed in female patients because both ASD and MS are more prevalent in this gender.[2]
