a passage way from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
It prevents back flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.
prevents backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
allows blood to enter the left ventricle but prevents blood flowing back into the left atrium
the mitral valve help blood from left atria pump in left ventricle
Patients treated by mitral valve repair for mitral insufficiency can expect improved myocardial function and relief of symptoms.
Mitral valve repair is performed to improve the function of the diseased valve so that it correctly controls the direction of blood flow.
Cardiothoracic and cardiovascular surgeons perform mitral valve repair. Surgeons are trained during their residency to perform these procedures, although a certain level of skill is required for perfection of the technique.
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
The mitral and bicuspid valves are the same thing.
Patients treated by mitral valve repair for mitral insufficiency can expect improved myocardial function and relief of symptoms.
Mitral valve repair is performed to improve the function of the diseased valve so that it correctly controls the direction of blood flow.
Patients treated by mitral valve replacement for mitral insufficiency can expect relief of symptoms. Improvement in myocardial function is not likely, but the current status is preserved.
Cardiothoracic and cardiovascular surgeons perform mitral valve repair. Surgeons are trained during their residency to perform these procedures, although a certain level of skill is required for perfection of the technique.
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.
The mitral, or bicuspid valve
The mitral valve is closed when the left ventricle is contracting.
Blood passes fro mthe left atrium into the left ventricle through the biscuspid (mitral) valve.
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
Mitral valve
Mitral stenosis
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
