    Once symptoms of mitral stenosis begin to develop, progression to severe disability takes 9.2 ± 4.3 years. [citation needed] In individuals having been offered mitral valve surgery but refused, survival with medical therapy alone was 44 ± 6% at 5 years, and 32 ± 8% at 10 years after they were offered correction.

    Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a valvular heart disease characterized by the displacement of an abnormally thickened mitral valve leaflet into the left atrium during systole. [4] It is the primary form of myxomatous degeneration of the valve. There are various types of MVP, broadly classified as classic and nonclassic.

    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 ...

  6. Cardiac fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_fibrosis

    When over-activated this process causes thickening and fibrosis of the valve, with white tissue building up primarily on the tricuspid valve, but also occurring on the pulmonary valve. The thickening and loss of flexibility eventually may lead to valvular dysfunction and right-sided heart failure .
