Congenital mitral insufficiency - what does this mean
Congenital mitral insufficiency is a heart defect that is present at birth. it occurs when the mitral valve, which separates the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart, does not close properly, causing a backward flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium. this can lead to an increased workload on the heart and can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling of the legs.
What happens during the disease - congenital mitral insufficiency
Congenital mitral insufficiency is a condition caused by a defect in the mitral valve of the heart, which is responsible for controlling the flow of blood between the left atrium and left ventricle. this defect can be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors, such as abnormal development of the mitral valve, a defect in the connective tissue of the valve, or a defect in the heart muscle that prevents the valve from closing properly. as a result, blood can leak back into the left atrium, causing an increased workload on the heart and leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and heart palpitations.
