During assessment of a patient with mitral valve stenosis,which findings would the nurse recognize are characteristic of the pressure gradient differences occurring with mitral valve stenosis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dyspnea and hemoptysis are characteristic findings of mitral valve stenosis due to the pressure gradient differences that occur between the left atrium and ventricle. Angina and syncope are not commonly associated with this condition, while JVD and peripheral edema are more commonly associated with right-sided heart failure. Hypotension and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea are also not commonly associated with mitral valve stenosis.
