Hi Armando, I have just graduated from my nursing degree. I would like to say thank you, as a lot of your videos have helped me understand the concepts taught in my science classes throughout the 3 and a half years.

Excellent video. I just want to let people know, if you have a patient with mitral regurgitation, feel their pulse! It might be a jerky feeling pulse, which is obviously due to some of the blood going into the left atrium rather than the systemic circulation.

I am 45 years old, half a year ago I was diagnosed with mitral regurgitation with prolapse, I am waiting for surgery right now. This video helped me better understand and what to expect, more precisely what type of surgery and what are all options to "fix" the problem so I can continue to function normally for the rest of my life.

I learnt so much here. Since this video we now have the MitraClip which seems to be where we are headed with minimally invasive procedure. The COAPT results showed that so far this is the becoming the standard treatment

I don't think you can do balloon valvuloplasty in regurgitation, Mr Hasudungan. It is a treatment for stenotic valves.

I have mild mitral regurgitation and my cardiologist said not to worry and get check ups every 2-5 years. I've had it for 7 years, stays the same, no symptoms at all and I feel great. She said it's not likely to progress. It still scary. I think about it all the time. This video and others scare me because I feel that it will get worse later on.

I was diagnosed with typhoid and prescribed to take cypro.When using cypro I was feeling the heart beat fast, after completing the dosage of five days(taking two per day) then after few days passed I start feeling irregular and period of heart dropping/pumping abnormal for seconds.This happens so many times in a day..
I think I've this problem!
Lord have mercy on me

Your vedios are really helpful and easily understandable.

[manahilshabbir]

Thankyou so much for this video, so much of my concepts got cleared.

[Horrorly]

Oups, you forgot to mention the open heart-operation where they change the valve with a mechanical or animal one :P Great video as always ;)

[mamtasinghmamta]

Nice presentation sir I am to much impressed

[bhushan]

Mechanical valve is preferred in young because they can continue to take anticoagulation and compliance is good as compared to old patient not mentioning bleeding risk in old patient.

70% of Mitral Valve Regurgitation is clinically insignificant and non symptomatic in most cases and no treatment is reguired! This comes from a Board Certified Cardiologist and you can also look it up on the Internets!

[elarbitroovalado]

Awesome..but would the balloon not be for a case of stenosis rather than insufficiency due to prolapse ?

[Fluffernutter]

Thanks so much, such a helpful video!!
