Barlow’s syndrome is an abnormality of the mitral valve of the heart. It is a condition in which the leaflets of the mitral valve swell and shifts towards to the left atrium of the heart as the valve closes during ventricular contraction. This abnormality prevents the valve from closing suitably, which causes it to leak.
Barlow’s Syndrome can be caused by various reasons, some of them are calcium buildup, congenital heart defects, radiation treatment, and tumors. Additionally, traumatic injury, disease, or infection can lead to Barlow’s Syndrome.
