confusion : parasternal heave?

Hi. I'm a bit confused. I read somewhere, parasternal heave can caused by dilated/enlargement of left atrium, apart from right ventricular hypertrophy. This is because dilated left atrium can push the right ventricle forward which can give parasternal heave. Is it true ? And if that so, is there any parasternal heave in mitral stenosis ?
