Mitral regurgitation is a heart disease because the mitral valve is the valve between the left ventricle and the left atrium. When the mitral valve is not fully closed, blood can flow back to the left atrium. There are relatively many types of heart disease, including rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. For patients with small mitral regurgitation, diuretics, anticoagulants and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors can be used under the guidance of doctors. Surgical treatment, such as valve replacement and mitral valve repair, is required when medical treatment is not effective.
