26
Q

Is the most common type of cause in mitral stenosis

A

rheumatic

27

31
Q

Blackflow of blood to left ventricule to left atrium

A

mitral regurgitation

32
Q

The main cause of mitral regurgitation is

A

pulmonary hypertension

33
Q

Mitral regurgitation could be ____ due to ventricular disfunction

A

primary or secondary

34
Q

Types of mitral regurgitation

A

acute

chronic

35
Q

Type of mitral regurgitation where the sistem doesn’t have enough time to compensated the changes so imidiately we have pulmmonary edema

A

acute

Type of mitral regurgitation whit a compensated mechanism so we can enlarge the left atrium and increase of the tick of te wall

A

chronic

37
Q

Is the inflammation of the endocardium
