Mild mitral regurgitation usually has no uncomfortable manifestations, no medication is needed, and regular cardiac ultrasound review is required. The following aspects of daily life can be noted: 1, ensure…
Acute severe regurgitation with haemodynamic instability is associated with a high mortality rate if surgical intervention is not timely. Patients with chronic mitral valve insufficiency may remain asymptomatic for a…
Patients presenting with symptomatic mitral valve insufficiency may present with fatigue and reduced activity tolerance in the early stages due to reduced cardiac output; as well as varying degrees of…
The incidence of heart valve calcification increases with age and is more likely to occur in people over 60 years of age. It is therefore a key concern in older…
Coronary heart disease refers to heart disease caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries (coronary arteries) causing narrowing or occlusion of the lumen, leading to ischaemia and hypoxia or necrosis…
It is not possible. The disease is always progressive and we need regular cardiac ultrasound to keep abreast of current disease progression, and generally stable disease, as well as annual…
Congenital mitral valve insufficiency is now rare and is mostly secondary to mitral valve insufficiency, with rheumatic simple mitral valve insufficiency accounting for a decreasing percentage of all mitral valve…
Early mitral valve insufficiency is difficult to detect because of the low regurgitant flow and the lack of obvious symptoms, and therefore requires regular physical examination with echocardiographic adjuncts to…
Seek prompt medical attention for symptoms and prompt ancillary investigations. The diagnosis of mitral regurgitation is confirmed by the physician’s finding of an idiosyncratic murmur on physical examination and a…
Heart failure can present early in the acute and later in the chronic; atrial fibrillation is seen in 3/4 of patients with chronic severe mitral valve closure insufficiency; infective endocarditis…
