Mitral Valve Stenosis: Your Heart's Journey Simplified with Dr. Pavan Kumar, Mumbai's Top Heart Valve Specialist
Let's talk about mitral valve stenosis, a condition that can make your heart's traffic director, the mitral valve, feel a bit stiff and narrow. Think of it as your heart's conductor, ensuring a smooth flow of blood between its chambers. However, when mitral stenosis comes into play, this coordination falters, and the valve struggles to perform its open-and-close routine. This adds stress to your heart and slows down the journey of blood through your body.
What Causes It?
What triggers mitral stenosis? Here are the contributors:
- Rheumatic Fever: This can follow a strep throat infection, causing inflammation and harm to the mitral valve.
- Calcium Buildup: Over time, calcium can gather on the mitral valve walls, making them less flexible.
- Congenital Heart Flaw: Some people are born with a mitral valve that needs a little extra care, setting the stage for constriction.
How Does Your Body Signal It?
How does your body let you know something might be off?
- Breath Catching During Activity or Resting: Breathing becomes a bit tricky.
- Unusual Fatigue: Feeling more tired than usual.
- Swelling in Feet or Ankles: A little extra puffiness.
- Heart's Rhythmic Dance: Your heart might be grooving to its own rhythm.
- Coughing up Blood-Tinged Mucus: A symptom that needs attention.
