Where would pressure be caused by stenosis of the mitral valve?
There will be higher pressure in the left atrium, when there is mitral stenosis. There will dilatation of the left atrium as well as there will hypertrophy of the left atrium. There will raise in the pulmonary veins. This will lead to pulmonary edema. This will eventually lead to high pressure in pulmonary arteries. That is called as pulmonary hypertension. The pressure in right ventricle will increase. Then the pressure in the right atrium will increase. Then the pressure in the systemic venous side will increase. This will lead to right sided heart failure.
