The mitral valve, also called the AV valve, closes during ventricular systole, which is one of the part of the cardiac cycle. When the atria contracts (atrial systole), the ventricules fill with blood, causing the mitral valve to close in order to avoid the blood from flowing back into the atrium.

Heart attacks that damage the structures that support the mitral valve are a common cause of mitral valve insufficiency. Myxomatous degeneration can cause a "floppy" mitral valve that leaks.
What valve sound heard at base of the heart?
The mitral, or bicuspid valve
What is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve?
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
What is the valve in the heart?
Mitral valve
Abnormal narrowing of the opening of the mitral valve is known as mitral?
Mitral stenosis
What is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral valve?
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
Who gets mitral valve stenosis?
Twice as many women as men are affected by mitral valve stenosis. About 60% of patients with mitral valve stenosis have had rheumatic fever.
Blood flow from the mitral valve to the bicuspid valve?
The mitral and bicuspid valves are the same thing.
