Detailed description
The heart has 4 chambers and 4 sets of valves. The valve located between the left atrium and the left ventricle is called the mitral valve. Like a gate, the valve opens and closes to ensure the correct flow of blood within the heart.
Congenital mitral stenosis is a developmental abnormality of the heart valve that prevents blood from flowing smoothly from the left atrium into the left ventricle. It is often accompanied by other cardiac malformations.
