The mitral valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium of the heart into the left ventricle. Mitral regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve leaks blood back into the left atrium.

The anatomic characteristics of the mitral valve in 70–80% of these patients were outside the inclusion criteria stated in the EVEREST II trial. [48] Therefore, in the 'real-world' setting it ...

It has been generally thought that significant elevations of the left atrial and pulmonary vascular pressures occur in patients with mitral regurgitation of sufficient severity to produce serious ...

A new study has found that microRNAs (miRNAs)—cellular RNA fragments that regulate gene expression—can be useful in identifying myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in dogs. According to researchers ...

However, there are key differences in the studies that make a 1:1 comparison difficult. For one, the patients in the RESHAPE-HF2 trial had less severe mitral valve regurgitation than did those in the ...
