Risk Factors
There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
Mitral valve stenosis is less common today than it once was because the most common cause, rheumatic fever, is rare in the United States. However, rheumatic fever remains a problem in developing nations.
Risk factors for mitral valve stenosis include:
- History of rheumatic fever
- Untreated strep infections
The most potent risk factor in the development of mitral stenosis is rheumatic fever. Other risk factors include history of rheumatic fever and untreated strep infection.
