The mitral valve consists of two valve leaflets , the anterior klpeblad (A) and the rear blade (P) , which together have a total of 4 - 6cm<sup>2</sup>. At the edges are chordae tendinae, which ensure that the leaflets do not tip (prolapse). These attach to two major papillairspierkoppen that are part of the muscle of the left ventricle .

insufficiency
Mitral valve insufficiency (MI) may result in left-sided congestive heart failure. An MI results in back flow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium. This may eventually result in pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema is manifested by shortness of breath, initially with exertion, but later at rest, orthopnea and nocturnal dyspnea attacks. On physical examination, pulmonary edema can be detected by fine crackles, particularly in the dorsobasale lung fields. Increasing left atrial pressure and dimension may cause atrial fibrillation.

Anatomy

The mitral valve consists of two valve leaflets, the anterior leaflet (AMVL) and the posterior leaflet (PMVL), which together have a surface of 4 - 6 cm2. Via chordae tendineae, small tendons which ensure that the leaflets do not prolapse, the valve leaflets are attached to two major papillary muscles (anterolateral en posteromedial) in the left ventricle.

The mitral valve is bringing many scan faces in pictures: PLAX, PSAXmv, AP4Ch, AP5Ch, AP2Ch, AP3Ch and subcostal4Ch. Mitral valvular insufficiency should be considered in all views. When significant abnormalities of the mitral valve are suspected, TEE (particularly 3D TEE) can assist in assessing the severity.

Stenosis

Causes of mitral valve stenosis
Acquired
  • Degeneracy
  • Rheumatic fever
Space occupying lesion
  • Myxoma
Congenital
  • Parachute valve
  • Cor triatriatum

Effects of mitral valve stenosis:

Chest pain, of breath when lying flat, with exertion and attacks during the night or morning (cardiac asthma), possibly coughing up blood; any complaints from right valve failure, such as ankle edema. Palpitations by atrial fibrillation, which can cause embolism, such as a stroke.

Treatment

The valve can be opened by balloon angioplasty or surgically treated by valve replacement.

Insufficiency

Causes of mitral valvular insufficiency
Annular dilatation
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Left ventricular dilatation
  • Left atrial dilatation
Degenerative disease
  • Malcoaptation at mitral valve stenosis
Acquired valve defect
  • Billowing
  • Prolapse
  • Floppy valve
  • Flail
  • Chordal rupture
  • Papillary muscle rupture
Secondary
  • Arrhythmias (LBBB-->diastolic MI)
  • SAM in HCM

Mitral valve insufficiency (MI) may result in left-sided congestive heart failure. An MI results in back flow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium. This may eventually result in pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema is manifested by shortness of breath, initially with exertion, but later at rest, orthopnea and nocturnal dyspnea attacks. On physical examination, pulmonary edema can be detected by fine crackles, particularly in the dorsobasale lung fields. Increasing left atrial pressure and dimension may cause atrial fibrillation.
