Mitral Regurgitation

Mitral regurgitation is backflow through an incompetent mitral valve. Acute MR (papillary muscle rupture post-MI) is a surgical emergency. Chronic MR is often well tolerated.

Core official overview

What this condition is

What is the mitral valve?The mitral valve is one of the four valves in your heart. Heart valves have flaps that open and close. The flaps make sure that blood flows in the right direction through your heart and to the rest of your body. When your heart beats, the flaps open to let blood through. Between heartbeats, they close to stop the blood from flowing backwards.The mitral valve opens to let blood flow from your…
