What does MITRAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to the mitral valve of the heart, or resembling a bishop's mitre in shape.
The mitral valve sits between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart, and its two flaps were said to resemble the two-pointed mitre worn by a bishop, which is where the word mitral comes from. Cardiologists use mitral almost only in this one anatomical context, describing the valve itself or conditions that affect it, such as a mitral murmur or mitral regurgitation. Surgeons can now repair a damaged mitral valve through minimally invasive procedures rather than full open-heart surgery.
