Mitral Regurgitation
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mitral regurgitation is a disorder of the heart's mitral valve that causes part of the blood to flow back into the left atrium instead of moving forward normally. Its intensity can vary greatly from one person to another.
Common causes: Among the origins are degenerative changes of the valve, aftereffects of infections, heart muscle problems and, in some cases, disorders present from birth.
Frequent symptoms: It may occur without discomfort for a long time or produce fatigue, shortness of breath with exertion, and palpitations.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who studies this condition with auscultation and heart imaging studies; in children, pediatric cardiology is added and the internist can take part in the general follow-up. If you notice unusual tiredness or difficulty breathing, it is worth requesting a cardiology evaluation.
