A member asked:

I was diagnosed with mild mitral valve stenosis during a random scan. does this mean i will eventually develop heart failure? what is my prognosis

Dr. James Chapman answered

Specializes in Cardiology

No: Mild mitral stenosis may not be an issue for a long time, if ever. If the degree of stenosis becomes significant, the problem is treatable, often with a simple minimally invasive cath lab procedure.
