what is Mitral insufficiency
It is the abnormal leaking of blood backwards from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, i.e. there is regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium.MI is the most common form of valvular heart disease.he treatment of mitral insufficiency depends on the acuteness of the disease and whether there are associated signs of hemodynamic compromise. In acute MI secondary to a mechanical defect in the heart (i.e., rupture of a papillary muscle or chordae tendineae), the treatment of choice is mitral valve surgery.
