Answer (1)

Patients with a history of a mitral valve disorder and hypertension are primarily at risk for developing heart failure and stroke due to potential complications arising from their condition. These issues stem from the increased pressure and potential for blood clots associated with mitral valve dysfunction. While pulmonary embolism is a possibility, spontaneous pneumothorax is unrelated. ;
