Prognosis (Expectations)
The outcome varies and depends on underlying conditions and the severity of the acute regurgitation. Milder forms of acute mitral regurgitation may become a chronic condition. Acute mitral regurgitation can rarely be controlled with medications; surgery is usually necessary to repair or replace the mitral valve (see valve replacement). Arrhythmias associated with acute mitral regurgitation can sometimes be fatal.
