The heart consists of 4 chambers - 2 atria and 2 ventricles. The atrioventricular (AV) valves ensure that the blood flows from the atria to the ventricles when the heart beats. A defect in the mitral valve (the left atrioventricular valve) causes backflow of blood into the left atrium, or mitral regurgitation. Less commonly, a narrowing or stenosis of the valve can be identified. Because of the leaky valve, the heart is less efficient at pumping blood to the body. Mitral valve insufficiency is the most common acquired cardiac disease in older dogs, affecting over one third of dogs greater than 10 years of age. In some breeds however, mitral insufficiency develops at a much younger age, due to an inherited predisposition for this disorder. In some breeds, abnormal development (dysplasia) of the valve has been identified in the embryo. How is mitral valve disease inherited? Although the pattern of inheritance has not been identified, it is agreed that there is a genetic basis for the early development of mitral valve disease.

   Extractions: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation The mitral valve is made up of the annulus, the anterior and posterior leaflets, and the chordae, which attach the leaflets to their respective papillary muscles. A normally functioning valve allows blood to flow unimpeded from the left atrium to the left ventricle during diastole and prevents regurgitation during systole. Normal mitral valve function is dependent not only on the integrity of the underlying valvular structure, but on that of the adjacent myocardium as well. This chapter reviews three types of mitral valve disease: mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation (including primary nonischemic, ischemic, and functional mitral regurgitation), and mitral valve prolapse. Practice guidelines published jointly by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) for the management of patients with valvular heart disease are referenced within this chapter.

    Extractions: by Jennie Bullock There are many diseases which affect the mitral valve and its supporting structures. The most common disorder of the mitral valve is the partial backflow (regurgitation) of blood through the valve. Regurgitation is usually the result of valvular degeneration, which occurs most often in older members of the smaller dog breeds. In valvular degeneration, the leaflets or cusps which make up the valve, may have contracted and curled back on themselves. This allows the valve to leak. Valvular degeneration can also be a secondary result of an infection of the valve (endocarditis), or as a congenital (present at birth) malformation of the valve. With mitral regurgitation the blood backflows (leaks) from the left ventricle into the left atrium of the heart. This regurgitation frequently occurs which such velocity that it produces a turbulence. This turbulence can usually be detected as a systolic murmur, heard between the first and second heart sounds.

    Extractions: Feedback About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Mitral valve disease. The term 'prevalence' of Mitral valve disease usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Mitral valve disease at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Mitral valve disease refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Mitral valve disease diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
