Yes, the pressure in the left atrium should be much higher than the pressure on the right side. The left atrium has to push blood into the left ventricle, which is much tougher and more muscular because it has to push blood throughout the entire body. The right atrium only has to fill the right ventricle, which is only pushing blood through the lungs.

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.


When blood enters the left atrium its muscular walls are?

strong then the right atrium but not as strong as the left ventricle because the left atrium deals with a higher pressure in comparison to the right atrium. The walls of the posterior left atrium are smooth, this part receives the 4 pulmonary veins The wall of the anterior left atrium contain musculi pectinati, small ridges in the wall Unlike in the right atrium there is no definitive division between the two

Name the upper and lower chambers in the heart?

The lower (ventricles) are muscular and the valves can seal both openings. The upper (atria) are significantly weaker and are not sealed at the venous portal. Both left sides are thicker and stronger than the right (systemic pressure is much higher than pulmonary).

Blood pressure has nothing to do with the chambers of the heart. Blood pressure has to do with the arteries, veins and capillaries.
