Ask the Heart Doctor: Mitral Valve

Cleveland Clinic heart experts explain mitral valve disease: what regurgitation (leakage) and stenosis (narrowing) are, how they’re found with an ultrasound of the heart and when treatment may be needed. Learn why regular follow-up matters, even if you feel fine, and how today’s treatment options - from minimally invasive surgery to catheter-based procedures - can help you get back to living a full, active life.
