What happens during the disease - mitral valve disease, unspecified

Mitral valve disease is a disorder of the heart's mitral valve, which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle. it is caused by a variety of factors, including valve calcification, rheumatic fever, and congenital defects. this can lead to a narrowing of the valve, which causes a decrease in blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. this can lead to an increase in pressure in the left atrium, leading to shortness of breath, fatigue, and palpitations. in more severe cases, it can lead to heart failure or stroke.
