Background The pulmonic valve is normally a thin tricuspid structure that prevents blood from regurgitating into the right ventricle once ejected into the low-pressure pulmonary circulation. Pulmonic regurgitation refers to retrograde flow from the pulmonary artery into the right ventricle during diastole. Physiologic (trace-to-mild) pulmonic regurgitation is present in nearly all individuals, particularly in those with advanced age.

Problem: Heart Valve Regurgitation Read more about regurgitation and specific valves: 1  Mitral regurgitation is leakage of blood backward through the mitral valve each time the left ventricle contracts. 2  Aortic valve regurgitation may stem from a congenital heart defect, complications of an infection or other more rare causes.

Heart Murmurs Topic Review Diastolic Murmurs. Diastolic murmurs include aortic and pulmonic regurgitation (early diastolic), and mitral or tricuspid stenosis (mid-late diastolic). Tricuspid stenosis is very rare and is discussed further in the valvular heart disease section. Aortic regurgitation (AR)

- (physiology) a muscle that opposes the action of another; the biceps and triceps are antagonistic muscles .A muscle that acts as the opposing force in contraction or relaxing of a muscle. An example of this is the the contraction of the biceps, where the triceps would be the antagonistic muscles.

Diagnosis An echocardiogram is conducted. 1  Echocardiogram. This is the test most commonly used to diagnose mitral valve regurgitation. 2  Electrocardiogram (ECG). Wires (electrodes) attached to adhesive pads on your skin measure electrical impulses from your heart. 3  Chest X-ray.

- Mitral regurgitation is where blood leaks back through the mitral valve in the heart as the valve does not close properly. This increases the pressure in the left atrium and in the blood vessels coming from the lungs. This may lead to various problems and symptoms, depending on the severity of the leak.itral valve prolapse. This is also called floppy mitral valve. In this condition the valve is slightly deformed and bulges back into the left atrium when the ventricle contracts. This can let a small amount of blood leak back into the left atrium. As many as 1 in 20 people have some degree of mitral valve prolapse.

Problem: Heart Valve Regurgitation 1 Mitral regurgitation is the most common type of valve problem. 2  Aortic valve regurgitation may stem from a congenital heart defect, complications of an infection or other more rare causes.3  Pulmonary or spumoni regurgitation is more rare and is usually a result of other problems like pulmonary hypertension.egurgitation is the name for leaking heart valves. Sometimes the condition is minor and may not require treatment, but other times valve regurgitation places a strain on the heart. It can cause the heart to work harder to pump the same amount of blood. Regurgitation occurs when:

- Mitral regurgitation may be caused by: 1  Mitral valve prolapse—Abnormal closure of the valve with protrusion of a leaflet tip backward into the left atrium, causing it to leak. 2  Infections that cause scarring of the heart valve, such as rheumatic fever or bacterial endocarditis. 3  Damage from a heart attack.

Tricuspid Regurgitation Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is insufficiency of the tricuspid valve causing blood flow from the right ventricle to the right atrium during systole. The most common cause is dilation of the right ventricle.

Mitral valve regurgitation Possible causes of mitral valve regurgitation include: 1  Mitral valve prolapse. In this condition, the leaflets and tendon-like cords supporting the mitral valve weaken and stretch so that with each contraction of the left ventricle, the valve leaflets bulge (prolapse) into the left atrium. 2  Damaged tissue cords.

Overview 1 Heart failure. 2  In severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, pressure can rise in your right ventricle due to blood flowing backward into the right atrium and less blood flowing forward through the right ventricle and into the lungs. 3  Your right ventricle can expand and weaken over time, leading to heart failure.evere tricuspid valve regurgitation can result in heart failure. If you have signs or symptoms of heart failure — such as feeling easily fatigued or short of breath, even with normal activity — see your doctor.

- Primary mitral valve regurgitation is caused by an abnormality in the mitral valve. Secondary mitral valve regurgitation is caused by an abnormality in the left ventricle of the heart. Possible causes of mitral valve regurgitation include: 1  Mitral valve prolapse.2  In this condition, the leaflets and tendon-like cords supporting the mitral valve weaken and stretch so that with each contraction of the left ventricle, the valve leaflets bulge (prolapse) into the left atrium.n mitral valve regurgitation, the mitral valve doesn't close tightly. With each heartbeat, some blood from the left ventricle flows backward into the left atrium instead of moving forward into the aorta. This essentially means that the heart pulls blood backward.

Pulmonary insufficiency (Redirected from Pulmonic regurgitation). Pulmonary insufficiency (or incompetence, or regurgitation) is a condition in which the pulmonary valve is incompetent and allows backflow from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle of the heart during diastole.

Problem: Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation What are the symptoms of tricuspid valve regurgitation? Tricuspid regurgitation may not have any symptoms or the symptoms be vague, such as weakness and fatigue, which develop because the heart is not pumping enough blood to allow the body to receive the needed oxygen.

Heart Anatomy & Physiology In mitral regurgitation the valve does not close properly. This causes blood to leak back (regurgitate) into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts. Basically, the more open the valve remains, the more blood regurgitates, the more severe the problem.

Kevin Conrad Symptoms of chronic mitral valve regurgitation (MR) may take decades to appear. With acute MR, symptoms come on suddenly, and you are critically ill. Call your doctor right away if you have new or different symptoms. Shortness of breath with exertion, which may later develop into shortness of breath at rest and at night.

Mitral Valve Regurgitation - Overview There are two forms of mitral valve regurgitation: chronic and acute. 1  Chronic mitral valve regurgitation, the most common type, develops slowly. 2  Primary regurgitation means there is a problem with the anatomy of the valve.  Secondary regurgitation means another heart problem causes the valve to not close tightly.
