If the left ventricle is weak, it causes the volume to back up. The increase volume, over time, will result in ventricular dilation.

∙ 12y agoIt is like that because the left half must pump blood throughout the whole body but the right ventricle only has to pump blood to the lungs.

∙ 12y agothe thickness is there because of more pressure is put on that side of the heart, so the heart can pump the blood through out the body with one big push.

How would the improper fuctioning of the vale between the left atrium and ventricle affect the movement of blood throw this area of the heart?
The Mitral Valve is in between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. Oxygenated blood is pumped from left atrium to the left ventricle through that valve, mitral valve, then to the whole body through the Aorta artery. So problems with this valve may make the blood go back to the atrium during the contraction of the ventricle and this leads to decrease of the pressure of blood and the amount of it to the Aorta. This can affect the whole body.
