It is one complication of chronic rheumatic hea disease. Other complications of chronic rheumatic hea disease are valvular effect (stenosis, insufficiency or can be both), valvular leaflets become thickened by fibrosis, frequent valvular calcification, cordae tendinae become thickened, shoened and fused.
