Mitral Valve Disease
Mitral valve disease occurs when the mitral valve, which regulates blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle, does not function properly.
This condition can manifest in two main forms: mitral regurgitation, characterized by the inability of the valve to close tightly, causing blood to leak backward to the left atrium, and mitral stenosis, which is a narrowing of the valve opening, restricting blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
