Treatment Overview of Mitral Regurgitation

  • In patients with mitral regurgitation (acute or chronic) with hemodynamic instability, an electrocardiogram should be done to assess for the presence of Myocardial Infarction. In its absence, infective endocarditis should be excluded by drawing blood cultures and ordering an echocardiogram.
  • Prophylactic antibiotics prior to a periodontal procedure which involves manipulation of gingival tissue, the periapical region of a tooth, or perforation of oral mucosa is recommended in patients with previous infective endocarditis, patients who have a prosthetic mitral valve implanted and in those with congentital heart disease.[1]
  • Based on age of patient, co-morbidities, symptoms and severity of mitral regurgitation, risks and benefits of valve surgery should be considered.
