D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D008943	Mitral Valve	The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart.	Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
D008946	Mitral Valve Stenosis	Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.
