Q

Backflow of blood from the LV (left ventricle) into the LA (left aorta) in systole across a diseased valve. It may be the result of congenital valve abnormalities, rheumatic fever, or mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

Q

Narrowing of the valve between the LA and the LV caused by adhesions on the leaflets of the valve, usually the result of recurrent episodes of rheumatic endocarditis. Left atrial hypertrophy develops and may be followed by right-sided HF and pulmonary edema (corpulmonale)
