The systemic circuit because not as much blood is able to enter it
This valve has different names. It is the LAV valve or Mitral Valve or Bicuspid valve.
If the mitral valve doesn't work properly, it can lead to conditions like mitral regurgitation or mitral stenosis. In mitral regurgitation, blood flows backward into the left atrium during contraction, potentially causing heart enlargement and pulmonary congestion. In mitral stenosis, the valve narrows, obstructing blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and increased pressure in the lungs. Both conditions can ultimately affect heart function and may require medical intervention.
This condition is called as mitral regurgitation. Here some of the blood flows back to left atrium. So the left atrium gets dilated and there is also hypertrophy of the left ventricle. The efficacy of the heart is adversely affected. There is diminished cardiac out put. In severe cases, you have left sided heart failure.
The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts.

The valve becomes thickened and doesn't work correctly. I have heard it called floppy valve. It doesn't close tightly as it should and it can be "leaky". Some blood flows backwards. This can be heard as a "murmur". It also can be seen on an ultra-sound.
The Operating Activities portion of the Statement of Cash Flows is affected by whether the direct or indirect method is used.
Note: Mitral valve = bicuspid valve = aortic valve. And tricuspid valve = right atrioventricular valve. Blood flows through the aortic valve --> aorta --> arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries in the great toe --> venules --> veins --> superior and inferior venacavae --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve. This above is incorrect. The Mitral valve is the bicuspid valve but it is NOT the aortic valve. So blood flows from the Mitral valve to the left ventricle to the aortic valve to the aorta. The rest appears correct.
The heart's mitral valve, located between the left atrium and left ventricle, plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow. It ensures that oxygen-rich blood from the lungs flows into the left ventricle while preventing backflow into the left atrium during ventricular contraction. The valve opens to allow blood to enter the ventricle and closes tightly to maintain proper circulation throughout the body. Proper function of the mitral valve is essential for efficient heart operation and overall cardiovascular health.
The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium. Blood flows from the left atrium through the mitral valve into the left ventricle, which then pumps the blood out into the aorta to supply the body.
