The association of angina pectoris with mitral stenosis and congenital heart disease has been observed but remains incompletely characterized in the literature.

Supports considering non-ischemic angina causes in mitral stenosis or congenital heart disease; leaves open need for prospective validation.
This historical review highlights that angina pectoris can occur in patients with mitral stenosis and congenital heart disease, even in the absence of significant coronary artery disease.
Douglas Stuckey (1955) conducted a review in Mitral stenosis and congenital heart disease with angina pectoris. Mitral stenosis and congenital heart disease was evaluated on Angina pectoris. Historical literature indicates that angina pectoris occurs in a subset of patients with mitral stenosis and congenital heart disease, sometimes with normal coronary arteries.
