Epidemiology and Demographics
The incidence of mitral regurgitation is approximately 2% of the population. Mitral regurgitation affects both males and females equally [1]. Mitral regurgitation is one of the two most common valvular heart disease in the elderly, and is the most common form of valvular insufficiency [2]. Among patients over the age of 55, 20% will have mitral regurgitation. The most common cause in the developed world is mitral valve prolapse and in the developing world is rheumatic heart disease.
