Heart disease need advic i have mitro heart disease and also an irregular heartbeat?
The question is not clear. You may have mitral valve prolapse, mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation. Mitral valve prolapse is a heart problem in which the valve that separates the upper and lower chambers of the left side of the heart does not close properly. Mitral stenosis is a heart valve disorder that involves the mitral valve. This valve separates the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart. Stenosis refers to a condition in which the valve does not open fully, restricting blood flow. Acute mitral regurgitation is a disorder in which the heart's mitral valve suddenly does not close properly, causing blood to flow backward (leak) into the upper heart chamber when the left lower heart chamber contracts. In open surgery, the surgeon makes a large incision (cut) in your breastbone to reach the heart. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000180.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_prolapse http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000175.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000177.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000176.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007411.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007412.htm
