myxomatous

Angiomyxoma is a myxomatous tumor involving the blood vessels.

Myxomatous degeneration is the most common cause of pure mitral valve insufficiency.

Myxomatous degeneration refers to a pathological weakening of connective tissue.

Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve is more common in females, and is more common in advancing age.

The Myxo ring, developed jointly with Edwards Lifesciences, has been used in treating myxomatous degeneration of the heart valves.

Pimobendan is used in the management of heart failure in dogs, most commonly caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease (also known as endocardiosis), or dilated cardiomyopathy.

The most common cause of mitral regurgitation is mitral valve prolapse (MVP), which in turn is caused by myxomatous degeneration.

The most common cause of primary mitral regurgitation in the United States (causing about 50% of primary mitral regurgitation) is myxomatous degeneration of the valve.

"Forme fruste mitral regurgitation", mitral regurg due to fibroelastic deficiency with myxomatous changes (as opposed to fully formed degenerative changes seen in Barlow's disease).

The term is most often used in the context of mitral valve prolapse, which is known more technically as "primary form of myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve."

It is a multiple neoplasia syndrome that is generally characterized by myxomatous neoplasms (cardiac, endocrine, cutaneous and neural), and a host of pigmented lesions of the skin and mucosae, including the rarely occurring epitheloid blue nevus.

An excess of dermatan sulfate in the mitral valve is characteristic of myxomatous degeneration of the leaflets leading to redundancy of valve tissue and ultimately, mitral valve prolapse (into the left atrium) and insufficiency.

Mitral valve prolapse (aka primary form of myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve aka floppy mitral valve syndrome) is a valvular heart disease characterized by the displacement of an abnormally thickened mitral valve leaflet into the left atrium during systole.
