Detailed explanation-1: -Heart attack or coronary artery disease, both of which can damage the heart muscles surrounding the mitral valve. Cardiomyopathy, a weakened heart muscle resulting from hypertension, heart attack, viruses or inherited disease. Congenital heart defects, or structural heart issues present at birth.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a valve doesn’t open or close properly, blood flow through the heart to the body can be reduced. In mitral valve regurgitation, the valve flaps don’t close tightly. Blood leaks backward when the valve is closed, making it harder for the heart to work properly.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitral valve prolapse: Prolapse is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation, and features extra tissue in the valve that keeps it from closing. Certain inherited genes can increase your risk of developing prolapse.
