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.

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7月19日 · Mitral regurgitation, or mitral valve regurgitation, is when your mitral valve doesn’t properly close and blood flows backward through your heart. Your mitral valve is located between the...

Mitral valve regurgitation is a leaky valve in your heart’s left side. This common form of heart valve disease may not cause symptoms if the leak is minor.

2024年5月24日 · Mitral regurgitation is leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve each time the left ventricle contracts. Learn about ongoing care of this condition.

2015年5月25日 · For moderate and greater mitral regurgitation, there are several features of the heart scan that are taken together to determine the severity. In moderate mitral regurgitation around 30% of the blood in the heart is leaking backwards.

2023年11月8日 · With mitral valve regurgitation—also known as mitral insufficiency, mitral incompetence, or simply mitral regurgitation (MR)—the two flaps of the valve (called leaflets) do not shut completely, allowing blood to flow backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium.

2023年8月23日 · Mitral valve regurgitation may be called leaky valve, mitral regurgitation (MR) or mitral insufficiency. A healthy mitral valve keeps blood moving from the upper left heart chamber to the lower left heart chamber.

People with mild or moderate mitral regurgitation often don’t have any symptoms. If the regurgitation becomes more severe, symptoms may start. They may be stronger and happen more often over time. They may include: Acute, severe mitral valve regurgitation is …
