Return to Home Page  Return to Symptoms Page

Mitral Regurgitation symptoms occur when the heart's mitral valve does not close properly. This allows blood to leak back into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts.

Mitral regurgitation can be caused by a heart attack or infection of the mitral valve. The symptoms of mitral regurgitation include fatigue and cough.


Most the time people with mitral regurgitation symptoms complain of shortness of breath and swelling of the lower extremities.


Sometimes mitral regurgitation symptoms can include palpitations, anxiety, and breathing made worse with lying down.

Mitral regurgitation symptoms are most commonly associated with a heart murmur heard during systole.
