  2. Mitral regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

    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.

  3. Mitral stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis

    Normally, the mitral valve is about 5 cm 2 during diastole. Any decrease in area below 2 cm 2 causes mitral stenosis. Early diagnosis of mitral stenosis in pregnancy is very important as the heart cannot tolerate increased cardiac output demand as in the case of exercise and pregnancy.

  4. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

    The mitral valve is typically 4 to 6 square centimetres (0.62 to 0.93 sq in) in area and sits in the left heart between the left atrium and the left ventricle. [5] It has two cusps: an anterior one, and a posterior one. [6] The opening of the mitral valve is surrounded by a fibrous ring known as the mitral annulus. The anterior cusp attaches to ...

  5. Mitral valve prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_prolapse

    Mitral valve prolapse classification. Diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse is based on modern echocardiographic techniques which can pinpoint abnormal leaflet thickening and other related pathology. Echocardiography is the most useful method of diagnosing a prolapsed mitral valve. Two- and three-dimensional echocardiography is particularly ...

    During systole, the valve closes, which means blood has just one option—to be ejected out the aortic valve and into circulation. If the mitral valve doesn’t shut all the way, blood can leak back into the left atrium, called mitral valve regurgitation. During diastole, the mitral valve opens and lets blood fill into the ventricle.

  7. Mitral annular disjunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_annular_disjunction

    Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality of the heart in the mitral annulus ring. [1] It is generally defined as an abnormal displacement of the location of where the posterior mitral valve leaflet inserts onto the left atrial wall and the left ventricular wall. [2] This abnormal attachment allows for the mitral valve to ...

    Mitral stenosis with NYHA functional class II-IV symptoms; Mitral regurgitation with NYHA functional class III-IV symptoms; Aortic and/or mitral valve disease resulting in severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary pressure greater than 75% of systemic pressures) Aortic and/or mitral valve disease with severe LV dysfunction (EF less than 0.40 ...

  9. Lutembacher's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutembacher's_syndrome

    Mitral Valve calcification late in life: the test will help to determine if the mitral valve or flaps are becoming hardened and losing their floppiness. pulmonary vascular congestion, marked left atrial enlargement: the test will help to determine if there is a sign of MS and small ASD and how severe both are.
