Methods: Native mitral valve specimens surgically excised due to mitralinsufficiency were examined.
2
Two (8%) patients ultimately required mitral valve replacement for recurrent mitralinsufficiency.
3
Next in frequency to mitralinsufficiency is aortic insufficiency, which occurs most frequently in men.
4
Again, as in mitralinsufficiency, if compensation is restored in mitral stenosis, these symptoms are improved.
5
Background and aim of the study: The edge-to-edge technique is used to restore valvular competence in mitralinsufficiency.
6
The valvular lesions most apt to cause irregular action of the heart are mitralinsufficiency or mitral stenosis.
7
The patient was suffering from mitralinsufficiency, with irregular pulse, loss of appetite, enlargement of the liver, and mild jaundice.
8
Sudden death from heart failure may occur with this lesion more frequently than with mitralinsufficiency but less frequently than with aortic insufficiency.

Again he listened long; and this time he said, " Mitralinsufficiency," with the accent of an assured diagnosis.
