Detailed explanation-1: -Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) is a disease of the mitral leaflets or chords, whereas secondary MR is caused by disease of the left ventricle (LV) or left atrium (LA).
Detailed explanation-2: -The mitral valve undergoes degenerative changes such as thickening and prolapse. These changes prevent the valve from closing properly which causes the valve to leak (mitral regurgitation).
Detailed explanation-3: -In heart valve disease, one or more of the valves in your heart doesn’t work properly. Your heart has four valves that keep blood flowing in the correct direction. In some cases, one or more of the valves don’t open or close properly. This can cause the blood flow through your heart to your body to be disrupted.
