Abstract

Calcific mitral stenosis, commonly seen in the elderly in developed countries, occurs primarily due to mitral annular calcification, and its prevalence is increasing secondary to an aging population. Mitral regurgitation, commonly seen across all age groups, occurs primarily due to anatomical or functional impairment of one or more components of the mitral apparatus or the left ventricle that are necessary for normal valve function, and its prevalence is increasing secondary to an increasing number of patients with heart failure. The current review discusses the diagnosis of and treatment options (medical, surgical, and transcatheter) for mitral valve disease, including the associated challenges, specifically in the elderly.
