Overview

The most potent risk factor in the development of mitral stenosis in developing countries is rheumatic fever. Other risk factors include history of rheumatic fever and untreated streptococcus infection, calcium deposition (Mitral annular calcification), congenital disorder (babies with narrowed mitral valve), radiation (chest radiation), autoimmune diseases (Lupus).

Common Risk Factors

  • 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 among the developing countries.[1][2][3]
