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
