Case Discussion
Chest x-ray findings raised the possibility of valvular heart disease. On ECHO there was severe mitral regurgitation, moderate mitral stenosis, moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension, and giant left atrium.
After completing the workup and informed written consent, the patient was taken up for mitral valve replacement and left atrial appendage plication.
