Congenital mitral stenosis - what does this mean
Congenital mitral stenosis is a congenital heart defect in which the mitral valve is abnormally narrow, reducing the amount of blood that can flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. it is usually caused by a malformation of the valve leaflets, leading to a decrease in the opening area of the valve and an increase in the pressure in the left atrium.
What happens during the disease - congenital mitral stenosis
Congenital mitral stenosis is a condition in which the mitral valve, which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart, is abnormally narrow. this narrowing is caused by a malformation of the valve leaflets, which can be due to several genetic or environmental factors. this narrowing of the valve leads to an increased pressure in the left atrium, which can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or palpitations.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Echocardiogram
- Cardiac Catheterization
- Chest X-Ray
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- MRI or CT Scan
- Blood Tests
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the obstruction of blood flow through the mitral valve.
- Medication to reduce inflammation and improve heart function
- Surgery to repair or replace the mitral valve
- Cardiac catheterization to widen the narrowed valve
- Regular monitoring of the patient's condition
- Lifestyle changes such as exercise, diet, and stress reduction
18 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Congenital mitral stenosis - Prevention
The best way to prevent congenital mitral stenosis is to ensure that pregnant women receive regular prenatal care, including regular ultrasounds to detect any potential heart problems in the fetus. if any abnormalities are found, early intervention may be necessary to prevent the development of mitral stenosis. additionally, avoiding risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and using recreational drugs during pregnancy can help reduce the risk of congenital heart defects.
