Patients with mitral stenosis need to pass the blood from the atrium to the heart through the mitral valve during cardiac diastole. The narrowing condition in patients with mitral stenosis leads to an accelerated and prolonged flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricle. As a result, atrial pressure increases, and this heightened atrial pressure can cause pulmonary congestion. In severe cases, it leads to pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension, in turn, can cause enlargement of the right ventricle and tricuspid regurgitation, which can lead to the patient exhibiting cyanosis. Therefore, in patients with mitral stenosis, the atrium gradually enlarges in the early stages, and later stages may present with right ventricular hypertrophy.

Can mitral stenosis be repaired?

Mitral stenosis sometimes requires surgical treatment to achieve repair standards, but it cannot be repaired solely through medication, as medications only relieve symptoms and cannot serve the purpose of treatment. This disease can cause ischemic and hypoxic changes, leading to heart failure. Patients typically present with a rumbling murmur in the precordial area, and may also experience palpitations, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms. It is sometimes crucial to actively monitor changes in the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse. The treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief, improving heart function, and may include the administration of low-flow oxygen inhalation to help alleviate the current condition of the patient.

Severe mitral regurgitation indicators

The criteria for judging mitral valve regurgitation mainly depend on the percentage of the regurgitation area in relation to the left atrial area. If the area of mitral regurgitation exceeds 40% of the left atrial area, it is medically termed as severe regurgitation. If it is below 20%, it is considered mild regurgitation. Generally, patients with severe regurgitation require surgical treatment. This treatment can be conducted through mitral valve replacement surgery or mitral valve repair surgery. Surgical treatment can effectively prevent the occurrence of heart failure, thereby improving the quality of life and extending the patient's lifespan.

Does mitral valve cause hemoptysis with lumps?

If the patient has a history of mitral stenosis, it is still necessary to actively control the symptoms in treatment. Because mitral stenosis can cause hemoptysis, the amount of blood coughed up depends on individual factors. This condition can cause capillary rupture and bleeding, which may result in the coughing up of blood clots. This situation does not indicate whether there is a tumor, as mitral stenosis is a type of rheumatic heart disease or congenital heart disease. Currently, the treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief, actively controlling the heart rate, and managing changes in blood pressure and pulse, which can also improve this condition.

Mild to moderate mitral stenosis, how long?

If the patient has mitral stenosis which is mild and progressing to moderate, it will take a year or even longer. Because if mild cases are aggressively managed with medication, it can slow the further progression of the disease. Mitral stenosis is a type of rheumatic heart disease or heart valve disease, mainly causing symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, with severe cases also presenting with swelling of the lower limbs. For mild mitral stenosis, it is necessary to have regular hospital check-ups, particularly to actively prevent upper respiratory tract infections, as sometimes these conditions can occur after catching cold, and actively controlling respiratory inflammation can improve symptoms.

Why is there a murmur during diastole in mitral stenosis?

The mitral valve is a one-way piston valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Generally, once the ventricle completes a contraction and ejects blood, it immediately begins to relax, at which time the mitral valve opens to allow blood from the atrium into the left ventricle. When the mitral valve is severely narrowed, the blood from the atrium cannot pass through the mitral valve into the left ventricle in a timely manner. At this time, the blood flow speed at the mitral orifice increases, forming turbulence, which results in the appearance of diastolic murmurs.
