The mitral valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium of the heart into the left ventricle. Mitral regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve leaks blood back into the left atrium.

Aortic regurgitation, on the other hand, is leakiness of the aortic valve when it's closed. It causes blood to leak back from the aorta into the heart's left ventricle. Mitral Valve Disease The ...

Percutaneous valve interventions have shown great success ... in high-risk patients with heart failure due to functional mitral regurgitation. These will compare MitraClip directly to medical ...

Some of the top heart failure research looked at statins and semaglutide for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, ...

Edwards submitted a request for a national coverage determination in February, after receiving FDA approval for its Evoque ...

That'll ease a lot of my anxiety." A leaky mitral valve, or mitral valve regurgitation, is the most common type of heart valve disease and occurs when a valve separating the chambers of the heart ...

thus indicating the absence of any significant pulmonary regurgitation. A diastolic thrill was palpable, however, over the septal leaflet of the mitral valve in each case, thereby indicating the ...

RVD assessment should be included in routine degenerative mitral regurgitation evaluation. To avoid the excess mortality observed after mitral valve surgery related to RVD, surgery should be discussed ...

Up to a quarter of patients with degenerative mitral valve disease may be asymptomatic despite having severe valve regurgitation. Current guideline indications for intervention in asymptomatic patient ...

Finally, we highlight the key role of mitral valve intervention, particularly transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for management of moderate-severe mitral regurgitation in carefully selected ...
