It is my understanding that CH is heart failure, but what about MH? This is from a medical history.

English translation:Mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence
Explanation:
Mitral regurgitation (MR), mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence is a disorder of the heart in which the mitral valve does not close properly when the heart pumps out blood. It is the abnormal leaking of blood from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, and into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, i.e. there is regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium.[1] MR is the most common form of valvular heart disease.[2]
