ABSTRACT
A 56 years old farmer from Churkhai, Mymensingh was admitted in Cardiology unit of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital 24 October, 2004 with the complaints of progressive breathlessness on exertion with the repeated respiratory tract infection. He had 3 episodes of multiple large joints swelling involving knee, ankle, wrist, during his childhood with spontaneous recovery without any residual deformity. At the age of 45 years, he was incidentally diagnosed as enlarged heart by a medical board, when applied for Foreign Service. In cardiology unit he was diagnosed as a case of Lutembacher's syndrome on the basis of history, physical examination and it was confirmed by X-Ray, ECG and Echocardiography study. As the patient developed pulmonary hypertension with calcified mitral valve leaflet so percutaneous transseptal mitral commissurotomy and or surgery is not indicated. So the patient was managed by medical therapy alone.
