Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Heart has four valve 2 on right side n 2 on the left side the mitral n aortic are 2 valves on left side. Mitral valve is located between left atria n left ventricle. Thickening mean valve size is increased that may cause difficulty in opening and closing that can cause some symptoms of it is thickened enough n causes impairment of blood to go from left atria into left ventricle.but if the valve is functioning well then need not worry .but if it is then it can be managed . I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Regards.
