The Rationale Behind the Evaluation Mitral valvular disease, which includes mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation, is the focus of this review. The structure of the valve is our starting point for this discussion.
According to recent studies, 3D imaging has made it possible to better understand valve anatomy. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty is still the best treatment for mitral stenosis when necessary and possible based on the patient's anatomy. The most common cause of mitral stenosis is atherosclerosis. Changes in the left ventricle's shape can lead to mitral regurgitation (MR), which can be caused by a problem in the mitral apparatus or the aortic valve. Researchers are exploring percutaneous methods of mitral valve repair and replacement, but surgery is still the gold standard for treating severe primary MR. The disease of the mitral valve is a common medical issue. If you want to provide the best care for a patient, you need to have a thorough understanding of the mitral valve and the diseases that can damage it.
