- Diagnosis: Diagnosed through echocardiography, which shows the regurgitant flow, alongside clinical examination for characteristic murmurs.
- Management: Treatment ranges from medical management (ACE inhibitors, diuretics) to surgical interventions such as mitral valve repair or replacement.
- Complications: If untreated, complications can include heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary hypertension.
