What is another word for mitral valve stenosis?
Pronunciation: [mˈɪtɹə͡l vˈalv stɛnˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Mitral valve stenosis is a heart condition that causes narrowing of the mitral valve. This can impede blood flow, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. There are several synonyms for this condition, including mitral stenosis, mitral valve obstruction, and rheumatic mitral stenosis. Other terms that may be used include mitral valve sclerosis or calcific mitral stenosis, which are variations of the condition caused by the build-up of calcium on the valve. While treatments for mitral valve stenosis vary depending on the severity of the condition, options include medication, surgery, and valve replacement.
