Each heart valve has two important functions: To open correctly so that blood can empty from the chamber. To close properly so that blood cannot flow the wrong way. When the valves and chambers fail to move blood properly, symptoms may eventually develop and may require critically important treatment. Learn more about the roles of your heart valves.
The mitral valve regulates the flow of oxygen rich blood from the lungs to pass from the left atrium to the left ventricle.There are two main diseases or malfunctions of heart valves: regurgitation (valve does not close tightly) and stenosis (valve does not open fully).he mitral valve is also prone to a disease referred to as mitral valve prolapse. With mitral valve prolapse, the mitral valve bulges slightly back into the left atrium when it closes, allowing a small amount of blood to leak backward. Mitral Valve Insufficiency/Regurgitation.
