Cardiodilatation

In cardiology, cardiodilation (cd) is the physiological condition of patients in which the mitral valve expands below normal (normally it has a rounded shape) - this is possible as a result of age-related degeneration (with age, its valves cannot withstand their previous functions and become less elastic). At this moment, the valve lumen opens only halfway, and at rest the valves close back, predisposing to organic stenosis. Such expansion of the valve is often accompanied by impaired functioning of the heart, arrhythmia, and insufficient blood supply to organs, which can often lead to death. Moreover, during the study, the doctor determines this symptom solely on the basis of changes in the indicator of the right ventricle.
