Mitral valve disease includes conditions affecting the mitral valve, which regulates blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. It is the most common form of heart valve disease and, if left untreated, may lead to complications such as heart failure.
Mitral Valve Regurgitation
Mitral Valve Regurgitation occurs when the valve does not close completely, allowing blood to flow backward into the left atrium.
Mitral Valve Stenosis
Mitral Valve Stenosis is characterised by narrowing of the valve opening, restricting blood flow into the left ventricle.
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Mitral Valve Prolapse is a common and usually benign condition in which the valve leaflets bulge into the left atrium during valve closure. In most cases, it does not cause symptoms; however, more severe forms may progress to mitral valve regurgitation.
