Case description
From The Mitral Valve Repair Reference Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Anelechi Anyanwu presents the case of a 33 year old male with a long history of a cardiac murmur. He noticed increased palpitations and on echocardiography was observed to have severe mitral regurgitation. Although, his ventricle was of normal size and function, in view of the severe regurgitation, and recent onset of palpitations he was referred for surgical treatment.
