Mitral Regurgitation also known as MR, means the the mitral valve is leaky. That means normally blood should go from the left atrium to the left ventricle and not in the reverse direction.

Heart Valve Alternative Surgical Procedure Is A Technique Aimed At Correcting Problems With One Or Greater Of The Heart Valves. These Valves, Responsible For Regulating Blood Waft Via The Coronary Heart, Can Increase Troubles Which Include Stenosis Or Regurgitation, Hindering Their Proper Functioning.

Heart Valve Replacement is the cure for Heart valve disease which occurs if one or more of the four Heart valves (Tricuspid, Pulmonary, Mitral, and Aortic) cease to function. Valves have tissue flaps- leaflets or cusps, which open and close with each heartbeat and ensure that blood flows in the right direction through the heart. Heart Valve disease occurs due to improper opening of the valves (Stenosis) or improper closing of the valves to prevent backflow of blood (Regurgitation). This adversely affects the flow of blood through the heart and hence, these valves have to be replaced or repaired. It may occur as a congenital defect, because of an infection or even due to aging.
