How does chronic aortic stenosis lead to left ventricular hypertrophy? Chronic aortic stenosis leads to left ventricular hypertrophy bc of increased workload of pumping blood through a narrow opening. The left atrium can also enlarge but mainly causes left ventricular hypertrophy. The right ventricle will remain normal for a period of time. That's why LHF happens first then leads to RHF. Chronic mitral stenosis will cause enlargement in which area? Left atria hypertrophy. In pt with Mitral v...

Mitral Valve Stenosis - Characterized by NARROWING of mitral valve - Normal is 4-6 cm -Narrowed is less than 2.5 cm - Caused by RHEUMATIC FEVER -More common in WOMEN -Oxygenated blood comes back into heart into the left atrium and down through the mitral valve to the left ventricle - Complex: Stenosis leads to volume/pressure in left atrium, which results in atrial hypertrophy/dilation, which increases pressure/volume in the pulmonary circulation & causes PULMONARY EDEMA - Simplif...
