Mitral regurgitation is the second most common valvular disorder requiring surgical intervention worldwide. This review summarizes the current understanding of primary, degenerative mitral regurgitation with respect to etiology, comprehensive assessment, natural history and management. The new concept of staging of the valvular disorders, newer predictors of adverse and controversy of “watchful waiting” versus “early surgical intervention” for severe, asymptomatic, primary mitral regurgitation are addressed.
