The organs that are affected by mitral stenosis is the heart and the valve between the two left heart chambers.
Mitral stenosis is narrowing of the valve that is between the two left heart chambers and when narrowed the valve reduces or even blocks blood flow into your heart's main pumping chamber.
And the heart's main pumping chamber is the lower left heart chamber that is also called the left ventricle.
Mitral stenosis causes chest by through high blood pressure being in the lung arteries.
The medical term for high blood pressure in the lung arteries is pulmonary hypertension which can occur if a narrowed mitral valve slows or blocks blood flow.
Decreased blood flow raises pressure in the lung arteries.
The heart must work harder to pump blood through the lungs.
Many people with mitral valve prolapse DO NOT have symptoms.
A group of symptoms sometimes found in people with mitral valve prolapse has been called "mitral valve prolapse syndrome," and includes: Chest pain (not caused by coronary artery disease or a heart attack) Dizziness.
