Condition
Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation
Ischemic mitral regurgitation is a leak backward through the mitral valve that happens after a heart attack or from coronary artery disease, when damaged heart muscle no longer supports a valve that is often structurally normal. Among supplements, coenzyme Q10 and omega-3 fatty acids have drawn the most interest, but little research on them in this condition has been reviewed here so far. Their support comes from broader heart research, where the evidence is moderate, so it is not yet clear how they affect the leak itself.
