Mitral valve disease can be a serious condition. This disease is when the mitral valve (the valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle heart chambers) no longer works properly.

The symptoms and causes of this disease are dependent on what is actually wrong with your valve. Symptoms usually develop gradually.

The diagnosis of this disease can be done through different tests. Depending on the severity of the disease, treatments can include medication, a medical procedure, or surgery.
