==Overview==
==[[Mitral stenosis overview|Overview]]==
 
'''Mitral [[stenosis]]''' is a [[valvular heart disease]] characterized by the narrowing of the orifice of the [[mitral valve]] of the [[heart]].
 
In normal cardiac physiology, the [[mitral valve]] opens during [[left ventricle | left ventricular]] [[diastole]], to allow [[blood]] to flow from the [[left atrium]] to the [[left ventricle]].  Blood flows in the proper direction because during this phase of the cardiac cycle the pressure in the [[left ventricle]] is lower than the pressure in the [[left atrium]], and the blood flows down the pressure gradient. 
 
In the case of mitral stenosis, the valve does not open completely, and to transport the same amount of blood the [[left atrium]] needs a higher pressure than normal to overcome the increased gradient.
