MITRAL STENOSIS ETIOLOGY, PATHOGENESIS AND CLINICAL SYMPTOMS

This article systematizes the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of mitral stenosis through an analytical review of contemporary literature. Narrative and comparative bibliographic methods were applied. The results distinguish mechanisms typical of rheumatic versus degenerative disease, outline major hemodynamic consequences, and identify early clinical markers. The study strengthens differential diagnostic reasoning and supports clinically oriented stratification.
