What is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral valve?
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
Can you live with mitral valve prolapse?

What is Mitral valve regurgitation?
The mitral valve is located between the left atrium (LA) and the left ventricle (LV). In normal circulation, oxygenated blood comes from the lungs into the LA, Whe the LA contracts, the blood goes into the LV. When the LV contracts, the blood is pumped into the aorta for circulation throughout the body. The mitral valve prevents blood from going back up to the LA from the LV during ventricular contraction. Mitral regurgitation is when the mitral valve does not close properly during ventricular contraction, and allows blood to go back up to the LA.
The sound created when blood leaks back through an incompletely closed valve is called what?
Regurgitation
Chordae tendinae left ventricle damage?
Chordae tendinae left ventricle damage may result in severe consequences. These include Mitral valve prolapses, mitral regurgitation, bicuspid prolapse and bicuspid regurgitation.
What is the function of the right tricuspid valve when the right ventricle contracts?
It closes, preventing regurgitation of blood back into the right atrium.
What kind of cardiovascular disease with a narrow valve?
Rheumatic valvular disease, is a disease leading to narrowing of valves,lead to regurgitation of blood.
Which compartment of the heart would receive blood flowing in the wrong direction through a defective mitral valve?
The mitral valve (or bicuspid valve) is the left atrioventricular valve. That means the left atrium would receive blood flow from the left ventricle (the wrong direction) if there was a regurgitation in that valve.
