Abstract
We report the case of a young adult with mitral stenosis and pulmonary oedema who did not respond to conventional antifailure therapy, but improved with intravenous propranolol and later underwent successful balloon mitral valvotomy. Intravenous beta blockade, though contraindicated in most cases of pulmonary oedema, may benefit patients with mitral stenosis and tachycardia.
