Asthma Mitral

Asthma mitral Description of the disease

Mitral asthma is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in which the walls of the right atrium and lungs narrow. Most often, the disease manifests itself in women of reproductive age. According to statistics, it is diagnosed in every second woman during her lifetime. The disease can also occur in children and men. But in the latter, the illness is more severe. Strong pressure from the systemic circulation on the right atrium can lead to atrial atresia, which prevents it from opening fully. And the walls of the lung tissue, which are also affected, begin to collapse during inhalation. This reduces the amount of blood they can accept. This disorder causes suffocation.
