Exploring Mitral Valve Disorders and Treatments with Dr. Srinivasa Prasad BV
The mitral valve plays a crucial role in maintaining proper blood flow through the heart. When functioning correctly, it ensures blood moves efficiently from the left atrium to the left ventricle without backflow. However, various conditions can affect the mitral valve, leading to complications that require medical intervention. As an experienced interventional cardiologist in Bangalore, I, Dr. Srinivasa Prasad BV, specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mitral valve disorders, offering patients advanced care options tailored to their individual needs.
Understanding the Mitral Valve
The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Its primary function is to prevent blood from flowing backward (regurgitating) into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts. This one-way flow ensures efficient circulation throughout the body
Common Mitral Valve Disorders
Several conditions can affect the mitral valve, including
Mitral Valve Prolapse
When the valve leaflets bulge back into the left atrium during contraction.
Mitral Valve Regurgitation
When the valve doesn't close properly, causing blood to leak back into the left atrium.
Mitral Valve Stenosis
When the valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
Minimally Invasive Approaches
Advancements in medical technology have also introduced minimally invasive procedures for mitral valve repair or replacement, such as:
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR):
Using a catheter to deliver a repair device to the mitral valve, avoiding open-heart surgery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery:
Small incisions rather than a large chest incision for traditional surgery.
