Dilation of atria occurs in patients with valvular heart disease, especially in rheumatic mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis, or tricuspid valve abnormalities. We report a case of giant left and right atrium in the context of rheumatic mitral stenosis and severe tricuspid regurgitation in a 68-year-old woman.
