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.
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.
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
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
Abnormal narrowing of the heart valve is called stenosis. This condition restricts blood flow through the valve, making the heart work harder to pump blood. Stenosis can affect any of the heart's valves, including the aortic, mitral, pulmonary, or tricuspid valves, and may lead to various cardiovascular complications. Treatment options often include medication or surgical intervention, depending on the severity.
Abnormal narrowing of a heart valve is known as stenosis. This condition restricts blood flow through the valve, causing the heart to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Stenosis can affect any of the heart's valves, with aortic and mitral stenosis being the most common. Treatment options may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions such as valve repair or replacement.
Aortic Semilunar Valve
The Mitral valve.
The Pyloric valve.
Common problems include abnormal heart valves, narrowing of the blood vessels in the heart, and weak heart muscles (cardiomyopathy). Patients with MPS I H and the severe form of MPS II usually have damage to the mitral valve
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
