Mitral Valve Obstruction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mitral valve obstruction, also known as mitral stenosis, occurs when this heart valve narrows and makes it harder for blood to pass normally between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
Common symptoms: It can cause shortness of breath with exertion, fatigue, palpitations, or a feeling of tiredness that increases with physical activity.
Common causes: It is often related to the after-effects of rheumatic fever, although there are other causes.
Which specialist treats it? Follow-up falls to the cardiologist and, when needed, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. If you notice unexplained fatigue or shortness of breath, the sensible thing is to discuss it with a heart professional.
