Leaking Mitral Valve?
Why is it that when i iron...?
Answers: Sometimes is call Mitral Valve Regurgitation and the first answerer explains the rest. Can be very minor and never need any form of intervention except that you MUST always take antibiotics earlier getting any kind of dental work (even cleaning) or any kind of surgical procedure contained by order to prevent an infection and developing endocarditis. If the "leak" is very significant consequently a valve replacement is the treatment.
Leaks backwards. Back-flow is a better description.
The valve a appliance to make sure the blood flows forward, when the heart pumps. When it cannot do this efficiently it flows backwards.
This medium your heart cannot deliver as before. You end up beside cirulatory insufficiency.
Can be surgically repaired. Good luck.
