Nonrheumatic mitral (valve) stenosis - what does this mean
Nonrheumatic mitral stenosis is a condition in which the mitral valve, which separates the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart, becomes narrowed or stiffened, resulting in reduced blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. this narrowing is usually caused by a build-up of calcium deposits on the leaflets of the valve, which can lead to thickening, scarring, and ultimately a decrease in the size of the valve opening.
What happens during the disease - nonrheumatic mitral (valve) stenosis
Nonrheumatic mitral stenosis is a condition in which the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart becomes narrowed, reducing the amount of blood that can flow through it. this narrowing of the valve is usually caused by a build-up of calcium deposits on the leaflets of the valve, leading to thickening and stiffening of the leaflets, which makes it harder for the valve to open and close properly. in some cases, the valve may become calcified and immobile, preventing any blood from passing through it.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Echocardiogram
- Chest X-ray
- ECG (electrocardiogram)
- Blood tests
- Cardiac catheterization
- Cardiac MRI
- Stress test
- Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)
- Doppler ultrasound
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the pressure in the left atrium, improve blood flow, and reduce symptoms.
- Medication to reduce symptoms and improve heart function.
- Surgery to repair or replace the valve.
- Echocardiogram to measure the size of the valve.
- Blood tests to measure liver and kidney function.
- Monitoring of heart rate and rhythm.
- Restrictive salt intake.
- Weight loss.
- Regular exercise.
- Avoiding alcohol.
- Avoiding smoking.
15 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Nonrheumatic mitral (valve) stenosis - Prevention
Nonrheumatic mitral (valve) stenosis can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, regular check-ups with a doctor can help to detect any potential problems early on and ensure that any necessary treatments are administered promptly.
