Introduction
In general, mild mitral regurgitation has little significant impact on the body. Mild mitral regurgitation mainly refers to a condition in which the mitral valve does not close tightly during cardiac contraction, resulting in a small amount of blood flowing backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium. If the patient develops atrial fibrillation, antiarrhythmic medications can be taken under a doctor's guidance for treatment.
In general, mild mitral valve regurgitation has little impact on the body. Mild mitral regurgitation mainly refers to a condition in which the mitral valve does not close tightly during cardiac contraction, resulting in a small amount of blood flowing backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium. This degree of regurgitation is minor and has minimal effect on the individual. It can even occur in otherwise healthy individuals and typically does not lead to serious heart problems. If a patient develops atrial fibrillation, antiarrhythmic medications may be prescribed under a doctor's guidance for treatment. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, ensure adequate rest, and maintain a balanced, nutritious diet while avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption.
Patients should seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician, which helps promote recovery.
