Mitral Valve Insufficiency, Heart Failure
Effectiveness of Surgical Mitral Valve Repair Versus Medical Treatment for People With Significant Mitral Regurgitation and Non-ischemic Congestive Heart Failure
Mitral regurgitation (MR), also known as mitral insufficiency, is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve, located between two of the heart's main chambers, does not firmly shut, allowing blood to leak backwards within the…
