• #8 Mitral Stenosis Treatment & Management: Medical Care, Surgical Care, Consultations

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/155724-treatment

  The goal of medical treatment for mitral stenosis is to reduce recurrence of rheumatic fever, provide prophylaxis for infective endocarditis, reduce symptoms of pulmonary congestion (eg, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea), control the ventricular rate if atrial fibrillation is present, and prevent thromboembolic complications. […] Because rheumatic fever is the primary cause of mitral stenosis, secondary prophylaxis against group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GAS) is recommended. […] Duration of prophylaxis depends on the number of previous attacks, the time elapsed since the last attack, the risk of exposure to GAS infections, the age of the patient, and the presence or absence of cardiac involvement. […] For secondary prevention of rheumatic fever and for infective endocarditis prophylaxis, see Medical Care. […] Primary prevention of acute rheumatic fever is summarized in Table 3 below.
