Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common type of heart valve disease. In this condition, the valve between the left heart chambers doesn't close fully. Blood leaks backward across the valve. If the leakage is severe, not enough blood moves through the heart or to the rest of the body.

Mitral valve regurgitation is the backward flow of blood through your heart’s mitral valve. This “door” connects the two chambers on the left side of your heart. It opens and closes when your heart beats.

Common tests to diagnose mitral valve regurgitation include: Echocardiogram. Sound waves are used to create pictures of the beating heart. An echocardiogram shows the structure of the mitral valve and blood flow in the heart. A standard echocardiogram is called a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE).

2024年2月18日 · Mitral valve regurgitation is when your blood isn’t going where it should. With this condition, some of it leaks backward instead of flowing out to the rest of your body.

2024年5月24日 · What's mitral valve regurgitation? Mitral regurgitation is leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve each time the left ventricle contracts. A leaking mitral valve allows blood to flow in two directions during the contraction.

Mitral regurgitation, also known as mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence, is the backward flow of blood from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, and into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, resulting in a systolic murmur radiating to the left armpit. [5][3]

2024年4月30日 · Mitral regurgitation is a heart condition characterized by the incomplete closure of the mitral valve, leading to the backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium during systole. This results in a systolic murmur heard at the …

2024年12月17日 · Mitral regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve allows blood to flow back into a person’s left atrium. Without treatment, it may cause complications such as stroke...

Mitral regurgitation is usually suspected based on the characteristics of the heart murmur (abnormal heart sound) heard through a stethoscope. The murmur is a distinctive sound produced by blood leaking backward into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is incompetency of the mitral valve causing flow from the left ventricle (LV) into the left atrium during ventricular systole. MR can be primary (common causes are mitral valve prolapse and rheumatic fever) or secondary to LV dilation or infarction.
