Mithral dwarfism is a rare genetic disorder that causes the heart and various organs to shrink in size, which can lead to serious health problems. The main symptoms are usually tachycardia, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, weakness, sweating and fatigue. Many people with this disease do not know about their condition until they are older and face many serious problems.
The causes of mitral dwarfism are unknown, but recently researchers are trying to find out what genetic disorders may be associated with this disease. Some studies point to the presence of the BNP1V gene as a potential risk factor that may be responsible for the development of dwarf mitral. However, scientists continue to study this issue in order to better understand the development of this disease and find possible ways to treat it.
Various methods are used in the treatment of dwarf mitral syndrome, including medications, surgery and cardiopulmonary therapy.
