Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare presentation of giant biatrial enlargement in the setting of rheumatic valvular disease.
Rare biatrial enlargement in rheumatic disease merits clinical awareness; leaves open questions on prevalence and mechanisms.
Dilation of atria occurs in patients with valvular heart disease, especially in rheumatic mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis, or tricuspid valve abnormalities. We report a case of giant left and right atrium in the context of rheumatic mitral stenosis and severe tricuspid regurgitation in a 68-year-old woman.
