A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens if your mitral valve in your heart is closing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mitral stenosis: Mitral stenosis forces pulmonary vein pressure up and causes pulmonary edema to form and right heart pressure to increase. Atrial arrhythmia s may occur. Right heart failure may happen and progress.
