Mitral valve regurgitation: Your mitral valve is found between your left atrium and left ventricle. Mitral valve regurgitation is characterized by the backflow of blood into your left atrium.

Heart murmur was auscultated during routine examination at 6 years of age, with complaints of tachycardia and chest pain at that time. A diagnosis of mitral regurgitation caused by hammock mitral ...

In this echocardiogram with color Doppler applied, the left side of the heart shows severe mitral regurgitation during systole, with blood backflowing into the left atrium (white arrow).

Mitral regurgitation describes when the mitral valve allows blood to flow back into a person's left atrium. Learn more about its symptoms and treatment here.

ALTHOUGH Fauvel,1 in 1843, attributed the apical presystolic murmur to stenosis of the mitral valve, Duroziez's2 description — "ffout-tata-rou" — in 1862 has been considered as the classic ...

Normally, heart valves separate the chambers of the heart and keep blood flowing in the right direction. If they allow blood to flow backward or make it difficult ...

While previous trials have led to questions surrounding the potential benefits of valve interventions in mitral or tricuspid regurgitation, a pair of trials presented recently demonstrate their ...

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) reduced cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF)-related hospitalizations with improved health status in patients with HF and moderate to ...
