I don't mean to be blunt or dismissive, but the pressure in the veins/arteries has nothing to do with (a) the thickness/elasticity of the wall tissue, (b) the diameter of the arteries/veins, or (c) the number of (branches of) arteries/veins.
This can either be caused by a more prominent maxilla (upper jaw) or a retruded mandible (lower jaw further back than it should be). This causes a discrepancy in how all teeth contact, and can manifest as an increased overjet. An increased overjet can also be caused by a discrepancy in the number of teeth, or the length of the arch.
Possible causes of mitral valve regurgitation include: 1  Mitral valve prolapse. In this condition, the leaflets and tendon-like cords supporting the mitral valve weaken and stretch so that with each contraction of the left ventricle, the valve leaflets bulge (prolapse) into the left atrium. 2  Damaged tissue cords.
