2. Mitral regurgitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

   Mitral regurgitation (MR), also known as mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence, is a form of valvular heart disease in which the mitral valve is insufficient and does not close properly when the heart pumps out blood. [3][4][5] It is the abnormal leaking of blood backwards – regurgitation from the left ventricle, through the mitral ...

3. 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.

4. Mitral valve repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_repair

   Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. The mitral valve is the "inflow valve" for the left side of the heart.

5. Valvular heart disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease

   Valvular heart disease is any cardiovascular disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left side of heart and the pulmonic and tricuspid valves on the right side of heart). These conditions occur largely as a consequence of aging, [1] but may also be the result of congenital ...

6. Mitral valve annuloplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_annuloplasty

   Mitral valve annuloplasty is a surgical technique for the repair of leaking mitral valves. Due to various factors, the two leaflets normally involved in sealing the mitral valve to retrograde flow may not coapt properly. Surgical repair typically involves the implantation of a device surrounding the mitral valve, called an annuloplasty device ...

7. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

   The mitral valve (/ ˈmaɪtrəl /), also known as the bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve, is one of the four heart valves. It has two cusps or flaps and lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. The heart valves are all one-way valves allowing blood flow in just one direction. The mitral valve and the ...
