The Sox slugger had a pacemaker inserted at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Fla ., in November but has continued to suffer from shortness of breath because of mitral regurgitation.
22.
Contraindications include : dysfunctional right ventricle, pulmonary hypertension, dysfunction at the base of the heart, systolic pulmonary artery pressure greater than 60mmHg ( in the absence of severe mitral regurgitation)

The Red Sox legend had a pacemaker inserted at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Fla ., in November but has continued to suffer from shortness of breath because of mitral regurgitation.
24.
All had severe eccentric mitral regurgitation ( MR ) . ( One had severe aortic regurgitation ( AR ) also . ) One had flail posterior mitral leaflet ( PML ).
25.
Mitral valve prolapse is in turn is caused by myxomatous degeneration, and is the most common cause of primary mitral regurgitation in the United States, causing about 50 % of cases.
26.
In this phase, the ventricular myocardium is no longer able to contract adequately to compensate for the volume overload of mitral regurgitation, and the stroke volume of the left ventricle will decrease.
27.
Murmurs can result from valvular heart diseases due to narrowing ( stenosis ), or regurgitation of any of the main heart valves, such as aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation or mitral valve prolapse.
28.
If the LA is enlarged, there is an increased risk of thrombi that originate in the LA . Moderate to severe, non-rheumatic, mitral regurgitation ( MR ) reduces this risk of stroke.
29.
The cooing dove murmur is a cardiac murmur with a musical quality ( high pitched-hence the name ) and is associated with aortic valve regurgitation ( or mitral regurgitation before rupture of chordae ).
30.
Valsalva maneuver in mitral regurgitation associated with mitral valve prolapse will decrease left ventricular preload and move the murmur onset closer to S1, and isometric handgrip, which increases left ventricular afterload, will increase murmur intensity.
