Abstrakt: | This case report explores the complexities involved in the diagnosis and management of asymptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR) in a 64-year-old male presenting with an incidental systolic murmur. Torrential MR with flail mitral valve (MV) segments was identified through comprehensive imaging and clinical evaluation, including echocardiography and catheterization. The discussion highlights the nuances of surgical timing, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches based on left ventricular (LV) function and dilation. This report sheds light on the evolving landscape of managing asymptomatic MR, underscoring the need for balancing surveillance with proactive intervention to optimize patient outcomes.
