• #1 Treating mitral valve regurgitation – Mayo Clinic Health System

  https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/treating-mitral-valve-regurgitation

  Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common type of valvular heart disease in the U.S. The prevalence of the condition increases with age. About 10% of adults over 75 have mitral valve regurgitation. […] Mitral valve regurgitation can make you feel short of breath or tired from the lack of blood flow through the heart. […] The symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation may develop slowly and be mild. For some people, symptoms may not develop for many years. […] In other cases, the leaky valve develops suddenly. This is called acute mitral valve regurgitation. […] Severe, symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation can weaken the heart and lower life expectancy if not treated.

  In chronic progressive MR, ventricular remodeling occurs, allowing maintenance of cardiac output, and an initial increase in EF is usually observed. However, the effective EF can be considerably lower depending on the regurgitant fraction. Over time, there is a positive feedback loop by which volume overload from MR causes dilation of the ventricle, widening of the mitral annulus, and diminishing coaptation of leaflets, leading to progressive worsening of the MR. Eventually, volume overload becomes so severe that excitation-contraction coupling of the muscle membrane becomes impaired, and wall stress-related afterload on the left ventricle leads to dilation with decreased contractility, resulting in a reduction of EF. […] Mitral regurgitation is a common valvular abnormality occurring in about 10% of the population.

  Mitral valve regurgitation is often mild and develops slowly. Some people do not have symptoms for many years. […] But sometimes, mitral valve regurgitation develops quickly. When this happens, it’s called acute mitral valve regurgitation. […] Fatigue is a common but nonspecific symptom of mitral valve regurgitation. Other symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation include: Irregular heartbeat, called an arrhythmia. Shortness of breath, especially when lying down. Feelings of a rapid, pounding or fluttering heartbeat, called palpitations. Swollen feet or ankles. […] As mitral valve regurgitation gets worse, the heart must work harder to pump blood to the body. The strain on the heart can cause the left lower chamber to widen. The heart muscle may become weak. […] Potential complications of severe mitral valve regurgitation include: An irregular and often rapid heartbeat, called atrial fibrillation. Mitral valve regurgitation may trigger this common heart rhythm disorder. Atrial fibrillation has been linked to an increased risk of blood clots and stroke. High blood pressure in the lungs, called pulmonary hypertension. Long-term untreated or improperly treated mitral regurgitation can increase pressure in the blood vessels in the lungs. As pressure rises, fluid builds up in the lungs. Congestive heart failure. In severe mitral valve regurgitation, the heart has to work harder to pump enough blood to the body. The extra effort causes the left lower heart chamber to get bigger. Untreated, the heart muscle becomes weak. This can cause heart failure.

  Mitral valve regurgitation doesn’t always display symptoms, especially early on. As the condition progresses, you may experience: […] Shortness of breath: When your heart doesn’t pump blood effectively, your body doesn’t receive enough oxygen, leaving you feeling like you can’t get enough air. […] Heart palpitations (irregular or racing heartbeat): You may be particularly aware of your heartbeat or feel a sudden rush or fluttering in your chest. […] Foot/ankle swelling: Mitral regurgitation makes your heart inefficient. As a result, it may be hard to move blood through the body, causing it to pool in your extremities. […] Presyncope: You may feel like you’re going to faint without actually fainting. […] Fatigue […] Chest pain. […] In some cases, mild mitral valve regurgitation may not present significant symptoms. In more severe cases, mitral valve regurgitation can prevent the heart from pumping enough blood to supply the body with oxygen and nutrients. […] Yes.

  2. Chronic coughing […] Poor circulation also means your blood can’t transport fluids the way it normally does. Over time, fluid can build up in your lungs, leading to irritation and a persistent, chronic cough. Untreated valve problems can lead to chest congestion, which can also cause coughing. […] 3. Shortness of breath […] Also called dyspnea, shortness of breath is another common symptom of mitral valve problems. When your heart doesn’t pump blood efficiently, blood oxygen content drops, leaving you feeling short of breath or gasping for breath. Lung congestion, another effect of mitral valve disease, can also lead to dyspnea. […] 4. Lightheadedness […] Your blood carries oxygen to all your organs, including your brain. If your circulation is impeded by a valve problem, you can wind up feeling dizzy or lightheaded. You might even have an increased risk of falling or fainting.

  https://www.franciscanhealth.org/community/blog/heart-murmur-mitral-regurgitation-stages

  Mitral regurgitation conditions are staged based on symptoms and heart function. […] In the compensated stage of mitral regurgitation, the heart and cardiovascular system have adjusted to the faulty heart valve and continue to function well. Patients rarely report symptoms, and many remain in this stage throughout their lives. […] During the transitional stage of mitral regurgitation, the heart begins to enlarge, cardiac pressures increase and output drops. Its not always known why a patients heart murmur worsens. Some patients may experience issues such as shortness of breath when exercising, but some have no additional symptoms. Still, this is the time for intervention, usually heart valve surgery. […] At the decompensated stage, the heart is greatly taxed and usually becomes enlarged. Patients start to experience more severe symptoms, such as shortness of breath and swelling in the arms or legs. This is the stage we want to avoid, said Dr. Lolay. At this point, the patient has heart failure, and the heart muscle has been damaged, and not just the valves. Treatment is more difficult and not as successful.

  Mitral valve regurgitation is a leaky valve in your hearts left side. This common form of heart valve disease may not cause symptoms if the leak is minor. But a more severe leak can cause symptoms and affect how your heart works. […] Mild mitral regurgitation may not cause any symptoms. But as the leaky valve gets worse and affects your heart function, a common symptom is shortness of breath (dyspnea). You may feel like you cant get enough air into your lungs, or you have to work harder to breathe when youre resting, lying down, trying to sleep or are physically active. […] Symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation may develop gradually or suddenly. […] Mitral valve regurgitation progresses slowly in some people and more quickly in others. Your healthcare provider can tell you more about the progression of your condition and how often they need to monitor you. They can also tell you how the condition may impact your life expectancy.

  The answer is different for different people. It can be a slow-moving disease, or it can get worse more quickly. Doctors can tell how far your disease has progressed by measuring how much blood leaks through your mitral valve. How well you will do depends on a few different factors, including: The cause of your mitral valve regurgitation, the stage of your disease, the severity of your disease, how long you have had mitral valve regurgitation.

  Mitral valve regurgitation is a condition that occurs when the mitral valve in your heart leaks, allowing blood to flow backward through the heart and toward the lungs. Mild cases can be harmless, but more severe cases can make your heart inefficient and cause symptoms that need medical or surgical treatment. […] To diagnose mitral valve regurgitation, your doctor will perform a physical exam. They’ll listen to your heart with a stethoscope, ask you about symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation like shortness of breath, and check for swelling, especially in the extremities. […] It isn’t easy to give a definitive timeline. The speed at which mitral valve regurgitation progresses depends on the cause of your mitral regurgitation and factors such as your age, medical history, and lifestyle.

  When significant (moderate to severe) MR is present, the left ventricle must work harder to keep up with the body’s demands for oxygenated blood. Over time, the heart muscle (the myocardium) and circulatory system undergo a series of changes to maintain this increased demand. […] The major change during this phase is enlargement of the left ventricle. This is known as the compensated phase, which does not usually cause symptoms, the heart rhythm is usually normal, and if the leak is not severe, surgical treatment is generally not required. […] As MR progresses, the heart muscle (myocardium) begins to weaken, and the ventricle can no longer compensate for the regurgitation. This phase is called the transitional phase. […] You may experience fatigue, with a decreased ability to exercise or be active, or you may feel short of breath in the transitional phase. However, some people have no symptoms.

• #46 Mitral regurgitation – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

  An individual may be in the compensated phase of MR for years, but will eventually develop left ventricular dysfunction, the hallmark for the chronic decompensated phase of MR. […] In this phase, the ventricular myocardium is no longer able to contract adequately to compensate for the volume overload of mitral regurgitation, and the stroke volume of the left ventricle will decrease. The decreased stroke volume causes a decreased forward cardiac output and an increase in the end-systolic volume. The increased end-systolic volume translates to increased filling pressures of the left ventricle and increased pulmonary venous congestion. The individual may again have symptoms of congestive heart failure.
