Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests:
Treatment depends on the severity of MR, symptoms, and the underlying cause. Options may include:
For mild or asymptomatic cases, regular monitoring with echocardiography may be sufficient to watch for progression.
While medicines cannot correct the valve leak, they can help manage symptoms or underlying conditions:
In cases of severe MR or when symptoms worsen, surgery may be recommended:
For patients who are at high surgical risk, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) offers a minimally invasive alternative. This procedure involves placing a clip device, such as MitraClip or PASCAL, via a catheter inserted through a vein to help the mitral valve leaflets close more tightly. TEER can reduce mitral regurgitation and improve symptoms without the need for open-heart surgery.
