Time of formation of rheumatic mitral stenosis

Rheumatic mitral stenosis is

usually secondary to rheumatic fever. If the primary disease is severe, it causes severe damage to the heart valve and does not eliminate the predisposing factors, resulting in rapid progression of the disease. Rheumatic mitral stenosis may occur in 2-3 years. If rheumatic fever is not very severe, the disease progresses slowly, and the patient can delay the progression of the disease through standardized treatment, it may occur in 4-5 years or longer.
