Mitral insufficiency include signs of left ventricular dysfunction with ejection fraction less than 60%, severe pulmonary hypertension with pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than 50 mmHg at rest or 60 mmHg during activity, and new onset atrial fibrillation. Significant mitral valve regurgitation has a prevalence of approximately 2% of the population, affecting males and females equally. It is one of the two most common valvular heart diseases in the elderly. Mitral insufficiency Mitral regurgitation (MR), Mitral insufficiency (abbreviation MI best avoided because it is more commonly used in lieu of myocardial infarction), or mitral incompetence is a disorder of the heart in
Mitral valve prolapse with palpitations, atypical chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, low body mass index, and electrocardiogram abnormalities in the setting of anxiety, syncope, low blood pressure, Migraine-Like Headache, orthostatic hypotension, lightheadedness, and other signs suggestive of autonomic nervous system dysfunction (dysautonomia). Mitral valve prolapse is frequently associated with mild mitral regurgitation, where blood aberrantly flows from the left ventricle into the left atrium during systole. In the United States, MVP is the most common cause of severe, non-ischemic mitral regurgitation. This is occasionally due to rupture of the chordae tendineae that support the mitral valve. MVP may occur with greater frequency in
