Valvular regurgitation is a heart condition where one or more of the heart valves do not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward instead of forward. This can occur in any of the four heart valves: the mitral valve, aortic valve, tricuspid valve, or pulmonary valve. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to various symptoms and complications. Common symptoms of valvular regurgitation include fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling in the legs or abdomen. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like echocardiograms, which help visualize the heart's structure and function. Treatment options may range from monitoring to medication or even surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
