Overview
The majority of cases of mitral stenosis result from rheumatic heart disease, which occurs as a complication of group A streptococcal infection in genetically susceptible individuals. Some cases may be congenital.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Common Causes
- Bacterial endocarditis
- Congenital
- Mitral annular calcification
- Prosthetic mitral valve
- Radiation treatment
- Rheumatic heart disease
- Certain medications
Causes by Organ System
| Cardiovascular | Atrial myxoma, bacterial endocarditis, Lutembacher syndrome, mitral annular calcification, cleft mitral valve, prosthetic mitral valve, rheumatic heart disease.
Congenital mitral stenosis: Double orifice mitral valve, hypoplasia of mitral valve annulus, mitral valve commissural fusion, Shone's syndrome. |
| Chemical / poisoning | No underlying causes |
| Dermatologic | No underlying causes |
| Drug Side Effect | Some medications may cause mitral stenosis, such as Ergot preparations used for migraines and Nitrates. |
| Ear Nose Throat | No underlying causes |
| Endocrine | No underlying causes |
| Environmental | Radiation. |
| Gastroenterologic | No underlying causes |
| Genetic | No underlying causes |
| Hematologic | Blood clots may obstruct the mitral valve. |
| Iatrogenic | Radiation treatment to the chest. |
