Abstract

The distribution of mitral stenosis (MS) in the general population is closely associated with rheumatic fever, since it is its main cause. Recent data of the World Health Organisation (WHO) suggest that acute rheumatic fever and, as a consequence, rheumatic disease, affect about 15.6 million people throughout the world. Females are affected more frequently than males with a ratio ranging between 2:1 and 3:1 [1].
