Etiologies of mitral regurgitation • Normal leaflet motion : • annular dilatation (LV dilatation, ischemia) • leaflet perforation (trauma, endocarditis, ostiumprimum ASD) • Excess leaflet motion : • mitral valve prolapse (Barlow’s disease, Marfansyndrom, Ehler-Danlossyndrom, pseudoxanthomaelasticum) • chordae rupture (prolapse, trauma, endocarditis) • papillary muscle rupture (infarction, trauma) • Restricted leaflet motion : • leaflet retraction (rheumatic fever, carcinoïd heart diasease, systemic lupus, annular calcifications, ...) • systolic anterior motion (HCOM) • chordae retraction (rheumatic disease) • papillary muscle retraction and/or dysfunction (aneurysm, infarction, ischemia, endomyocardial fibrosis)
