Overview

The majority of cases of mitral stenosis result from rheumatic heart disease, which occurs as a complication of group A streptococcal infection in genetically susceptible individuals. Some cases may be congenital.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Common Causes

Causes by Organ System

Cardiovascular Atrial myxoma that may cause mitral valve obstruction, Bacterial endocarditis where the vegetations may favor increase risk of stenosis, Lutembacher syndrome, Mitral annular calcification, Primary causes of mitral stenosis that emanate from a cleft mitral valve, Prosthetic mitral valve and Rheumatic heart disease which is synonymous with rheumatic fever that occurs as a complication of group A streptococcal infection in genetically susceptible individuals.

Congenital mitral stenosis in which children may be born with mitral stenosis or other birth defects involving the heart that may cause mitral stenosis, such defects include: Double orifice mitral valve, Hypoplasia of mitral valve annulus which is considered part of the spectrum of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Mitral valve commissural fusion, Shone's syndrome (consists a set of four cardiac defects: Parachute mitral valve, Supra-valve mitral membrane (SVMM), Sub-aortic stenosis and Coarctation of the aorta) and Thickened chordae tendinae.
