He had a previous history of Rheumatic fever in early childhood. There was history of recurrent attack of Rheumatic fever. Subsequently he developed MS from Rheumatic carditis. ASD was congenital in origin. If diagnosis could be done earlier, surgical closure of ASD with replacement of mitral valve bears a good prognostic value.
