Mitral valve stenosis is diagnosed by history, physical examination , listening to the sounds of the heart (cardiac auscultation), chest x ray , and ECG.
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and mitral regurgitation
Mitral valve stenosis refers to a condition in the heart in which one of the valve openings has become narrow and restricts the flow of blood from the upper left chamber (left atrium) to the lower left chamber (left ventricle).
no, it only makes it harder for the left ventricle to get blood
The question is not clear. You may have mitral valve prolapse, mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation. Mitral valve prolapse is a heart problem in which the valve that separates the upper and lower chambers of the left side of the heart does not close properly. Mitral stenosis is a heart valve disorder that involves the mitral valve. This valve separates the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart. Stenosis refers to a condition in which the valve does not open fully, restricting blood flow. Acute mitral regurgitation is a disorder in which the heart's mitral valve suddenly does not close properly, causing blood to flow backward (leak) into the upper heart chamber when the left lower heart chamber contracts. In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large incision (cut) in your breastbone to reach the heart. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000180.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_prolapse http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000175.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000177.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000176.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007411.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007412.htm
Twice as many women as men are affected by mitral valve stenosis. About 60% of patients with mitral valve stenosis have had rheumatic fever.
Mitral stenosis
Doppler echocardiography is the preferred diagnostic tool for evaluation of mitral valve stenosis
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
Narrowing of the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is mitral stenosis. Mitral refers to that particular valve, and stenosis is defined as abnormal narrowing.
It corrects a Mitral Valve Stenosis
The only possible way to prevent mitral valve stenosis is to prevent rheumatic fever. This can be done by evaluating sore throats for the presence of the bacteria that causes strep throat.
Risks associated with mitral valve stenosis depend on pre-existing risk factors. It is of utmost concern whether one is at risk of death or of brain damage.

Mitral Valve Insufficiency
Mitral valve stenosis refers to a condition in the heart in which one of the valve openings has become narrow and restricts the flow of blood from the upper left chamber (left atrium) to the lower left chamber (left ventricle).
