Mitral stenosis is due to thickening and immobility of the mitral
valve leaflets, resulting in obstruction in blood flow from the
left atrium to the left ventricle. The mitral valve leaflets are
thickened and the commissures are fused along with thickening and
shortening of the chordae tendineae. This mechanical obstruction
leads to increases in pressure within the left atrium, pulmonary
vasculature, and right side of the heart; in comparison, the left
ventricle is unaffected if there is pure mitral stenosis.
