  • determined by echocardiography. Age ≥ 18 years Able to sign Informed Consent and Release of Medical Information forms "Degenerative mitral valve disease refers to a spectrum of conditions in which morphologic changes in the connective tissues of the mitral valve cause structural lesions . . .
  • such as chordal elongation
  • chordal rupture
  • leaflet tissue expansion
  • and annular dilation typically resulting in mitral regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse." This definition excludes rheumatic heart disease. (Anyanwu AC
