A 67-year-old female presented seven years after insertion of a mitral prosthesis with mild to moderate pulmonary edema and severe right heart failure with pulmonary and tricuspid insufficiency. Clinical examination and noninvasive tests did not demonstrate prosthetic valve dysfunction. Cardiac catheterization revealed a marked V wave but no mitral regurgitation and no significant mitral diastolic gradient. A clinical diagnosis of a stiff left atrium was made and confirmed at autopsy. The pathophysiology of the syndrome is discussed.
