a condition in which the mitral valve in the heart becomes narrowed, making the heart work harder to pump blood; can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath
a narrowing of the mitral valve in the heart
Congenital (present at birth) or acquired abnormality of the mitral valve in the heart; narrowing and ineffective opening of the mitral valve.
Obstruction of the mitral valve.
Narrowing of the opening of the mitral valve in the heart. This narrowing causes the atrial portion of the left side of the heart to work harder to force blood through the valve. The consequences are similar to those of mitral insufficiency, which may accompany stenosis.
A narrowing of the mitral valve, causing blood to flow backward into the left atrium.
narrowing of the mitral valve that separates the left atrium and the left ventricle.
Narrowing of the normal area of the mitral valve causing a pressure drop across the valve during left ventricular filling
Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the orifice of the mitral valve of the heart.
