Risk Factors

There are no established risk factors for [disease name].

Mitral valve stenosis is less common today than it once was because the most common cause, rheumatic fever, is rare in the United States. However, rheumatic fever remains a problem in developing nations.

Risk factors for mitral valve stenosis include:

• History of rheumatic fever
• Untreated strep infections
