Abstract

Acute mitral valve insufficiency is a common condition encountered by physicians of various specialties, including cardiologists, therapists, rheumatologists, and cardiac surgeons. The underlying causes of the disease are varied, and the severity of the condition, caused by the development of acute left ventricular failure, requires early diagnosis and urgent care, including surgical intervention. Current article presents a clinical case of myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve leaflets in a 41-year-old patient, complicated by chordal rupture with the development of acute mitral regurgitation, which resulted in death.
