==Overview==
Patients with mitral stenosis who develop atrial fibrillation require anticoagulation and rate control.
==Asymptomatic Patients==
In asymptomatic patients, use endocarditis prophylaxis and chronic anticoagulation for intermittent or chronic atrial fibrillation, systemic embolism and marked LA enlargement (>55mm).
==Symptomatic Patients==
===Anticoagulation===
*[[Anticoagulant]] or [[antiplatelet]] medications (blood thinners) may be used to prevent clots from forming in patients with [[atrial fibrillation]]. The 2006 ACC/AHA guidelines on the management of valvular heart disease recommended long-term oral anticoagulation in patients with mitral stenosis who have a prior embolic event, left atrial thrombus, or atrial fibrillation <ref name="pmid18574274">{{cite journal| author=Salem DN, O'Gara PT, Madias C, Pauker SG, American College of Chest Physicians| title=Valvular and structural heart disease: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition). | journal=Chest | year= 2008 | volume= 133 | issue= 6 Suppl | pages= 593S-629S | pmid=18574274 | doi=10.1378/chest.08-0724 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18574274  }} </ref><ref name="pmid18574273">{{cite journal| author=Singer DE, Albers GW, Dalen JE, Fang MC, Go AS, Halperin JL et al.| title=Antithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition). | journal=Chest | year= 2008 | volume= 133 | issue= 6 Suppl | pages= 546S-592S | pmid=18574273 | doi=10.1378/chest.08-0678 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18574273  }} </ref>.
===Digoxin===
*[[Digitalis]] may be used to strengthen the heartbeat and to slow the ventricular response in patients with atrial arrhythmias. Slowing the heart rate prolongs the diastolic filling time and allows better filling of the left ventricle.
===Diuretics===
*[[Diuretics]] may be used to remove excess fluid in the lungs in patients with pulmonary edema.
===Low Sodium Diet===
A low-sodium diet may be helpful.
===Activity Restriction===
Once a a patient develops symptoms, activity may be restricted.

"3. Anticoagulation is indicated in patients with mitral stenosis with left atrial thrombus. (Level of Evidence: B) "
Class IIb
