Case description

Congenital mitral valve stenosis is a rare but potentially serious heart condition that is present from birth. It is characterized by the narrowing or constriction of the mitral valve, which separates the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. This narrowing reduces the flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle, causing increased pressure in the atrium and potential backflow of blood. While the severity of congenital mitral valve stenosis can vary, it often leads to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and even heart failure if left untreated. Treatment options may include medication, balloon valvuloplasty, or in some cases, surgical repair or replacement of the valve. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to managing this congenital heart defect and improving the long-term prognosis for affected individuals.
