Chronic aortic regurgitation If the individual survives the initial hemodynamic derailment that acute AR presents, the left ventricle adapts by its eccentric hypertrophy and dilatation with a subsequent compensated volume overload.

In the United States, MVP is the most common cause of severe, non-ischemic mitral regurgitation. [4] This is occasionally due to rupture of the chordae tendineae that support the mitral valve. [11] The severity of regurgitation in MVP is typically estimated using a grading system: [16] [17] [18] 0 (none or trivial) Grade 1 (mild) Grade 2 (moderate)
Mitral regurgitation, also known as mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence, is the backward flow of blood from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, and into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, resulting in a systolic murmur radiating to the left armpit.
