A member asked:

Is mitral valve stenosis dangerous or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: This depends on how severe the stenosis is. It is important to see a cardiologist and continue to watch this condition closely as it changes over time, and you may need surgery at some point in time.
