Mitral Regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve does not close completely, allowing blood to flow backward into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts. This backflow causes the heart to work harder, leading to heart enlargement, shortness of breath, and eventually heart failure if untreated. Treatment options include medications, valve repair, or valve replacement, depending on the severity of the condition.
