Mitral stenosis: almost always caused by rheumatic disease, valves become thickened and fuse along the leaflet margins, venous congestion because of backup. If you leave it too long, the patient will develop generalized edema/ anasarca. Insufficiency: surgical valve replacement or correction of the stenosis (cutting the valve) Pulmonary edema: dizziness and angina on exertion. Imaging utilized: cxr (cid:374)ot (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)lusi(cid:448)e , echocardiography sho(cid:449)s (cid:448)al(cid:448)ula(cid:396) (cid:448)egetatio(cid:374)s, increased wbc count, treatments, antibiotics. If i has been going on for a while, we may need valvular replacements.
