Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of mitral stenosis is rheumatic fever. Other risk factors include history of rheumatic fever and untreated strep infection. Common risk factors in the development of mitral stenosis is rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever, is rare cause among developed countries (in the U.S). However, rheumatic fever is a common cause in the developing countries.
