Mitral valve

Diagnosis To diagnose mitral valve disease, including mitral valve stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation, a health care professional examines you and asks questions about your medical history. The health care professional listens to your heart with a device called a stethoscope. A whooshing sound, called a heart murmur, may be a sign of a mitral valve condition. Mitral valve regurgitation Overview Mitral valve regurgitation is a common type of heart valve disease, also called valvular heart disease. In this condition, the valve between the left heart chambers doesn't close fully. Blood leaks backward across the valve. If a lot of blood leaks backward, the rest of the heart and body doesn't get enough. 二尖瓣修复术和二尖瓣置换术是用于修复或置换渗漏或狭窄的二尖瓣的心脏手术。二尖瓣是控制心脏血液流动的四个瓣膜之一，位于心脏左上腔室和左下腔室之间。二尖瓣修复术或置换术可能会采用心内直视手术或微创手术。采用的方法取决于二尖瓣疾病的严重程度以及是否正在恶化。在可能情况. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a mitral valve that isn't working properly. A catheter is inserted in the leg or chest and guided to the heart. Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement are types of heart surgery to fix or replace a leaky or narrowed mitral valve. The mitral valve is one of four heart valves that control blood flow in the heart. It's located between the upper and lower left heart chambers. La válvula mitral separa las dos cavidades cardíacas del lado izquierdo. En el prolapso de la válvula mitral, las hojuelas de la válvula sobresalen hacia la cavidad izquierda superior en cada latido. El prolapso de la válvula mitral puede hacer que la sangre se filtre en sentido contrario, una afección que se conoce como regurgitación de la válvula mitral. The mitral valve separates the two chambers (atrium and ventricle) of the left side of the heart. In mitral valve prolapse, the leaflets of the mitral valve bulge (prolapse) into the left atrium like a parachute during the heart's contraction. Sometimes mitral valve prolapse causes blood to leak back into the atrium from the ventricle, which is called mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral valve stenosis, shown in the heart on the right, is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve is narrowed. The valve doesn't open properly, blocking blood flow coming into the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. A typical heart is shown on the left. Mitral valve stenosis, shown in the heart on the right, is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve is narrowed. The valve doesn't open properly, blocking blood flow coming into the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart. A typical heart is shown on the left. The mitral valve heart murmur is the sound of blood leaking backward through the valve. You may have tests to confirm a diagnosis of mitral valve regurgitation or to check for other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
