  2. Mitral valve prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_prolapse

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

    The device fastens together the mitral valve leaflets to improve the heart's blood outflow. The mitral clip has not yet established the same long-term reliability as septal myectomy or alcohol septal ablation, but HCM specialists are increasingly offering the clip as a less-invasive treatment option. [60] [61]

    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) Mechanical prosthetic valve requiring anticoagulation; Marfan syndrome with or without aortic regurgitation [42]

  7. Mitral valve replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_replacement

    The mitral valve may need to be replaced because: [citation needed] The valve is leaky (mitral valve regurgitation) The valve is narrowed and doesn't open properly (mitral valve stenosis) Causes of mitral valve disease include infection, calcification and inherited collagen disease. Current mitral valve replacement approaches include open heart ...

  8. Mitral stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis

    Mitral stenosis is a valvular heart disease characterized by the narrowing of the opening of the mitral valve of the heart. [1] It is almost always caused by rheumatic valvular heart disease. 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 ...

  9. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

    The mitral valve and the tricuspid valve are known as the atrioventricular valves because they lie between the atria and the ventricles. [1] In normal conditions, blood flows through an open mitral valve during diastole with contraction of the left atrium, and the mitral valve closes during systole with contraction of the left ventricle. The ...
