Acute Mitral Regurgitation
Acute mitral regurgitation is a heart disorder in which the mitral valve, which separates two cardiac chambers on the left side, suddenly stops closing properly and allows part of the blood to flow backward. Its sudden onset distinguishes it from the forms that develop slowly.
How it may present: difficulty breathing of abrupt onset, marked fatigue, and a sensation of suffocation, especially when exerting oneself or lying down.
When to seek care? In the presence of difficulty breathing that appears suddenly and intensely, evaluation should be prompt.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist studies the disorders of the heart valves and the cardiovascular surgeon intervenes when a surgical correction is considered. Given how quickly it sets in, it is advisable to seek cardiology care without postponing it.
