Functional Mitral Valve Regurgitation
With this illustration, I explored the pathology of mitral valve regurgitation:
Mitral Valve Regurgitation (MR):
The mitral valve, a gatekeeper between the left atrium and ventricle, falters.
During systole, it should close tightly to prevent backflow. But in MR, it wavers.
Oxygenated blood leaks backward, burdening the atrium and compromising circulation.
The Visual Narrative:
Arrows trace this turbulent journey—the delicate balance disrupted.
The heart, a resilient conductor, fights to maintain harmony.
