An abnormally narrow mitral valve is a condition called mitral stenosis. The mitral valve is situated between the left atrium and left ventricle. This means the left atrium has a more difficult time filling the left ventricle. Since the left ventricle needs to pump blood to the entire body, incomplete filling of this chamber means less cardiac output to the entire body.

What is the Narrowing of the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle called?
Narrowing of the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is mitral stenosis. Mitral refers to that particular valve, and stenosis is defined as abnormal narrowing.
What is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve?
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
What conditions can be revealed by cardiac catheterization?
enlargement of the left ventricle; ventricular aneurysms (abnormal dilation of a blood vessel); narrowing of the aortic valve; insufficiency of the aortic or mitral valve; and septal defects
What guards the opening between left atrium and left ventricle?
Aortic Semilunar Valve
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle that prevents the blood in the ventricle from returning to the atrium?
The Mitral valve.
What is the narrowing of the opening between the stomach and intestines?
The Pyloric valve.
What are common heart problems of patients with MPS disorders?
Common problems include abnormal heart valves, narrowing of the blood vessels in the heart, and weak heart muscles (cardiomyopathy). Patients with MPS I H and the severe form of MPS II usually have damage to the mitral valve
What is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral valve?
The medical term for backflow of blood through the mitral valve is mitral regurgitation.
How do heart attacks affect the mitral valve?
Heart attacks that damage the structures that support the mitral valve are a common cause of mitral valve insufficiency. Myxomatous degeneration can cause a "floppy" mitral valve that leaks.
What syndrome has symptoms of abnormal sounds heard from the chest when listening with a stethoscope which indicate that the mitral valve is not closing properly?
Barlow Syndrome
What is a tricuspid valve?
The tricuspid valve is a valve situated at the opening of the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle and that resembles the mitral valve in structure but consists of 3 triangular membranous flaps. :)
