Descriptor English: Mitral Valve Stenosis
Descriptor Spanish: Estenosis de la Válvula Mitral
Descriptor estenosis mitral
Entry term(s) estenosis de la válvula mitral
Scope note: Estrechez de la VÁLVULA MITRAL debida a FIBROSIS y CALCINOSIS de las valvas y cuerdas tendinosas. Dicha estrechez eleva la presión en la aurícula izquierda que, a su vez, eleva las presiones venosa y capilar, con aparición de DISNEA y TAQUICARDIA durante la realización de ejercicio físico. La principal causa de estenosis mitral es la FIEBRE REUMÁTICA.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008946
Scope note: Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.
