Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) (parasternal short-axis view above the mitral valve orifice) of a patient with mitral valve stenosis: A, mild, evenly distributed fibrosis of mitral valve leaflets (arrow); B, localized thickening and fibrosis of mitral valve leaflets, calcification of the posterior commissure (arrow). RV, right ventricle.
