A member asked:
How does a valvular stenosis affect the right and left sides of the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stenosis: It depends on which valve is stenotic. Mitral stenosis increases pressure in the lungs and right heart. Aortic stenosis is a pressure overload of the left ventricle. Pulmonary and tricuspid stenoses are rarer.
