A member asked:
Can you tell me the pathophysiology and natural history of mitral stenosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex: Ultimately mitral stenosis would cause heart failure. The treatment is relief of the stenosis, either by mitral balloon valvuloplasty or mitral valve replacement. This is something that really needs a cardiologist.
