    What is the definition of Congenital Mitral Malformation?

    Congenital mitral malformation refers to various mitral valve abnormalities that are present at birth. The mitral valve is made of leaf-like flaps and is situated between the upper left chamber (atrium) and lower left chamber (ventricle) of the heart. There are three main types of mitral valve abnormalities: 1) mitral valve prolapse (when one or both mitral valve flaps do not close properly), 2) mitral valve regurgitation (when the mitral valve does not close and allows blood to leak back into the left atrium from the left ventricle), and 3) mitral valve stenosis (when the mitral valve becomes narrow or tight). Many individuals born with mitral valve malformations also have other heart defects.
