Complications of Mitral Stenosis in Pregnancy

Mitral valve stenosis occurs when mitral valve opening is narrowed. Therefore blood flow is reduced, and the volume and pressure of blood in left atrium increases. As the result, the left atrium enlarges and beats in irregular pattern. In pregnancy mitral stenosis can contribute to maternal, neonatal and fetal complications. Therefore aim of this work is to present complications of mitral stenosis in pregnancy.
