Abstract:
Eclipsed mitral regurgitation (MR) is a rare phenomenon of transient severe MR in patients with normal left ventricular function. This paper presents a case of a patient with recurrent heart failure exacerbations and transient, positional severe MR consistent with eclipsed MR, which improved after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Normal Heart Sounds
S1 (First Heart Sound)-
S1 is made by the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves (atrioventricular valves), marking the beginning of systole.
S2 (Second Heart Sound)-
S2 is made by the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves (semilunar valves), marking the end of the systole.
