About this document
Understanding Mitral Valve Stenosis by Yanna Habib-Mangotara is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Untreated or advanced mitral valve stenosis can lead to several problems: 1) The narrow valve opening reduces blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. 2) The reduced blood flow causes the volume and pressure of blood in the left atrium to increase. 3) The increased blood volume and pressure in the left atrium causes it to enlarge over time.
