What is mitral valve stenosis?
Mitral valve stenosis is characterized as a narrowing at the heart's mitral valve. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium (left lower half of heart) and the left ventricle (left top half of heart). The stenosis decreases the ability of the heart to pump efficiently.
