Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate about 2.5% of the US population, or 7.5 million Americans, are living with mitral valve disease. Aging is a major contributing factor to mitral valve disease so the number of individuals with the condition is expected to grow as the population ages. What is the mitral valve? How does it work? What causes mitral valve disease and what are the symptoms? How is the condition diagnosed and how is it treated? The answers to these questions are in this HeartSpeak podcast.
