what is 'mitral stenosis - tight heart valve connecting left upper and lower chambers of heart '?
Definition for mitral stenosis
Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the orifice of the mitral valve of the heart.
In normal cardiac physiology, the mitral valve opens during left ventricular diastole, to allow blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
more
Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the orifice of the mitral valve of the heart.
In normal cardiac physiology, the mitral valve opens during left ventricular diastole, to allow blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The reason the blood flows in the proper direction is that, during this phase of the cardiac cycle, the pressure in the left ventricle is less than the pressure in the left atrium, and the blood flows down the pressure gradient. In the case of mitral stenosis, the valve does not open completely, so the left atrium has to have a higher pressure than normal to have the blood overcome the increased gradient caused by the mitral valve stenosis.
