Improper closing of the mitral valve, allowing blood to flow backward through the heart

Expert Heart & Vascular Care

Getting the care you need starts with seeing one of our heart or vascular specialists.

Request an Appointment

The mitral valve separates the two left chambers of the heart (the left ventricle and the left atrium) and opens and closes to move blood through the heart. Mitral regurgitation, a heart valve disease also known as mitral insufficiency, occurs when the two leaves of the valve do not seal correctly and allow blood to flow backward through the left atrium into the lungs.

Our team in the Structural Heart and Valvular Disease Program has the expertise to treat mitral regurgitation with medication and surgery, offering the latest minimally invasive techniques. Without treatment, severe mitral regurgitation can cause arrhythmia or heart failure.

What are the symptoms of mitral regurgitation?

Mitral regurgitation usually develops over a few months, and you may experience:

Chest pain
Coughing
Edema or swelling
Heart murmur
Palpitations, a fluttering in your chest
Shortness of breath

What can cause mitral regurgitation?

You may be born with mitral regurgitation, or it can be the result of damage to the mitral valve or left ventricle. Some of the possible causes include:

Cardiomyopathy
Chest trauma
Congenital heart defect or disease
Damage from a heart attack
Endocarditis
Medication or radiation treatment
Mitral valve prolapse
Rheumatic fever

Manage Your Healthcare

Make appointments, review your test results and exchange secure messages with your doctor in the myMedStar portal.

Tests

Diagnosing mitral regurgitation is the first step to developing a treatment plan. Our specialists may recommend one or more diagnostic and imaging procedures.

Treatments

Our heart and vascular teams work together and with other specialties to develop and implement individualized plans to treat your unique condition. Severe mitral regurgitation may require surgical correction, such as a mitral clip, or other advanced treatments.
