Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders - what does this mean
Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders occur when the mitral valve fails to close properly, allowing blood to leak back into the left atrium. this can be caused by abnormalities in the valve structure, such as thickening of the leaflets or their failure to properly coapt, or by changes in the surrounding structures, such as an enlarged left atrium.
What happens during the disease - nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders
Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders are caused by a variety of conditions including congenital abnormalities, degenerative changes due to aging, and endocarditis. these conditions can lead to the disruption of the normal function of the mitral valve, resulting in mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis, or both. the disruption of the valve can lead to insufficient blood flow to the left ventricle, resulting in symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and palpitations.
