Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
The mitral and bicuspid valves are the same thing.
Mitral valve
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).
The Mitral valve.

MVP is the medical abbreviation meaning mitral valve prolapse
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
Mitral stenosis
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.
Pylororrhaphy is the medical term meaning suture of the pyloric valve. A related term, pyloroplasty, means surgical repair of the pyloric valve.
An abnormally narrow mitral valve is a condition called mitral stenosis. The mitral valve is situated between the left atrium and left ventricle. This means the left atrium has a more difficult time filling the left ventricle. Since the left ventricle needs to pump blood to the entire body, incomplete filling of this chamber means less cardiac output to the entire body.
enlargement of the left ventricle; ventricular aneurysms (abnormal dilation of a blood vessel); narrowing of the aortic valve; insufficiency of the aortic or mitral valve; and septal defects
Heart attacks that damage the structures that support the mitral valve are a common cause of mitral valve insufficiency. Myxomatous degeneration can cause a "floppy" mitral valve that leaks.
The mitral valve is closed when the left ventricle is contracting.
left atrioventricular valve and left mitral valve
The left atrioventricular valve is also known as the mitral valve.
