Mitral valve disease refers to conditions that affect the mitral valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Mitral valve plays a key role in regulating blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Some common types of mitral valve disease include mitral valve stenosis, which causes narrowing or blockage of the mitral valve, and mitral valve regurgitation or insufficiency, which allows blood to flow backward through the mitral valve. Factors such as aging, rheumatic fever, congenital heart defects, and infections can damage the mitral valve and lead to diseases. Presently, there is no cure for mitral valve disease, however, treatments aim to repair or replace the damaged mitral valve via procedures such as mitral valve repair or replacement surgeries.
Market Dynamics
Global mitral valve disease market growth is driven by rising geriatric population globally who are more prone to develop mitral valve diseases due to age-related degeneration of heart valves. Increasing prevalence of rheumatic heart disease in developing nations can drive the market growth during the forecast period. However, high costs associated with mitral valve repair and replacement surgeries along with lack of skilled healthcare professionals can hamper the market growth. Ongoing development of novel mitral valve repair technologies and techniques present lucrative growth opportunities for market players.
