A Case of Isolated Congenital Mitral Regurgitation Presenting with Heart Failure in Infancy
Journal Title: International Cardiovascular Research Journal - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Isolated congenital Mitral Regurgitation (MR) occurring in infancy is rare (< 0.4% of live births with congenital heart disease). Presentation in infancy with symptoms of heart failure reflects the severity of the condition and needs mandatory surgical correction to prevent progressive deterioration and death. Isolated Congenital MR in infancy is a surgical challenge and various surgical techniques employed for valve repair have to be judiciously used. We report a case of isolated congenital MR presenting in infancy, who underwent successful surgical correction.
