Patient's question:
Doctor, mitral valve stenosis due to rheumatic heart disease (severe, like my condition, how serious is it? If I don't have surgery, can it be completely cured? Or, if treatment is not implemented, what will happen?Doctor's answer:
Rheumatic heart disease with severe mitral valve stenosis is a relatively serious condition. It can lead to complications such as arrhythmia and heart failure. If heart failure is severe, it may result in sudden death. Generally, valve replacement is recommended. After surgery, proper medical treatment is necessary. The prognosis is usually good if treated. Without treatment, heart failure will continue to expand, eventually leading to multiple near-death experiences. If surgical treatment is not performed, only medication treatment is generally ineffective.
