ABSTRACT

La insuficiencia mitral es una afección común que incide generalmente en 2 porceinto de la población, el prolapso valvular es el hallazgo más frecuente por la elongación o ruptura de las cuerdas tendinosas lo que ocasiona disímiles grados de regurgitación durante la contracción ventricular. A pesar de ello, la evaluación clínica de los pacientes asintomáticos con insuficiencia mitral severa, permanece en controversia y es motivo de debate entre los principales expertos. Se presentó un caso de insuficiencia mitral severa asintomática por rotura de cuerda tendinosa, al cual se le realizó sustitución valvular mitral debido al grado de deterioro del aparato valvular y sub-valvular, se logró buen resultado en el seguimiento


Mitral failure is a common disease that generally affects 2 percent of the population. The valvular prolapse is the most frequent finding due to elongation or rupture of tendinous cords that brings about different levels of regurgitation during the ventricular contraction. Despite the above-mentioned, the clinical evaluation of asymptomatic severe mitral failure patients remains controversial and is very much debated among outstanding experts. A case of asymptomatic severe mitral failure caused by rupture of the tendinous cord was presented. The mitral valve was replaced because the valvular and subvalvular systems were much deteriorated. The follow-up of the patient showed good results
