Principles of MR
This chapter gives an overview of the epidemiology of mitral valve pathologies and introduces the anatomy and hemodynamic functioning of the mitral valve. It also covers the practical aspect of how to image the MV and the subvalvular apparatus using apical, parasternal, and subcostal echocardiographic views.

Causes of MR
This chapter discusses the causes of mitral regurgitation, including primary structural abnormalities (prolapse, flail leaflet, annular disjunction, rheumatic or infectious disease) and secondary causes (functional MR, new entity: atrial functional MR).

Mechanism of MR
This chapter explains how to identify the mechanisms of mitral regurgitation. Beginning with a solid understanding of segmental anatomy and the integration of color Doppler interpretation, you will learn how to recognize the underlying mechanisms. Special focus is placed on commissural prolapse and perforation. The distinction between structural and functional MR is clearly explained and illustrated. A complete patient examination provides hands-on tips for your clinical practice.

Management and Future of MR
This chapter covers the differences in how to manage patients with mitral regurgitation depending on its causes, types, and severity. In addition, the role of symptoms, strain imaging, and stress echocardiography is discussed. Finally, the key parameters and recommended intervals for follow-up in these patients are reviewed.
