How to Understand Mitral Valve Diseases?

Mitral valve disease is a disease that usually progresses insidiously and does not cause symptoms in the early stages. Since early diagnosis of the disease is very important for treatment, it is important for patients with these symptoms to be checked without delay. It can be understood by angiography and echocardiography. While the treatment of this disease, which is not in an advanced stage, can be continued with non-surgical methods, heart valve repair or replacement is required in case of advanced insufficiency or stenosis.
