'''Myxomatous degeneration''' refers to a pathological weakening of [[connective tissue]]. The term is most often used in the context of [[Mitral valve prolapse]], which is known more technically as "Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve." <ref>Cotran RS, Kumar V, Fausto N, Nelso F, Robbins SL, Abbas AK. Robbins and Cotran pathologic basis of disease. 7th ed. Elsevier Saunders. St. Louis, Mo 2005 ISBN 0-7216-0187-1 </ref> It can also be used in reference to degeneration of the aortic valve.
'''Myxomatous degeneration''' is a progressive, [[non-inflammatory]] disarray of the structure involved caused by a defect in the integrity of the structure, due to the alteration in the synthesis and [[remodelling]] of the tissue. Myxomatous is a term derived from the word [[Myxoma|Myxoma.]] [[Myxoma]] is derived from Greek word muxa, meaning mucus.[[Myxoma]] is a non-cancerous tumor growth, it contains mucus or gelatin like substance. The term is most often used in the context of [[Mitral valve prolapse]], which is known more technically as "Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve."  It can also be used in reference to [[degeneration]] of the [[aortic valve]]. [[Myxomatous degeneration]] of the [[cardiac valves]] (MDMV) stands for the non-inflammatory progressive disarray of the [[valve]] structure caused by a defect in the mechanical integrity of the leaflet due to the altered synthesis and/or [[remodeling]] by [[type VI collagen]]]. The gross morphologic features are characterized by voluminous and thickened [[leaflets]], in both longitudinal and transversal axes. This entity involves not only the valve but also the [[chordae tendineae]] that has also become [[thickened]], elongated, and sometimes ruptured.


==Pathophysiology==
==Pathophysiology==
The degeneration occurs in conjunction with an accumulation of [[dermatan sulfate]], a [[glycosaminoglycan]], within the connective tissue matrix of the valve. The exact mechanism is unknown.
The [[degeneration]] occurs in conjunction with an accumulation of [[dermatan sulfate]], a [[glycosaminoglycan]], within the [[connective tissue]][[  matrix ]]of the [[valve]]. The exact mechanism is unknown.


In many cases, the degeneration is limited to the [[Mitral valve|mitral valve]] and follows a benign course.  When associated with systemic diseases, like [[Marfan syndrome]], the degeneration is more extensive and involves other heart valves. The valves can become sufficiently distorted to cause [[Aortic insufficiency|insufficiency]] and [[Regurgitation (circulation)|regurgitation]].

The valves can become sufficiently distorted to cause [[Aortic insufficiency|insufficiency]] and [[Regurgitation (circulation)|regurgitation]].   
 
Deposition of excessive [[proteoglycans]] causes widening of the[[ fibrosa]], which extends towards basal aspects and also tends to involve the annulus and chords, which further leads to loss of [[collagen ]]and [[elastic tissue]].   
 
Myxomatous degeneration can occur in other organs like [[uterus]], where we can see myxomatous degeneration of [[uterine fibroids]].

Overivew

Myxomatous degeneration is a progressive, non-inflammatory disarray of the structure involved caused by a defect in the integrity of the structure, due to the alteration in the synthesis and remodelling of the tissue. Myxomatous is a term derived from the word Myxoma. Myxoma is derived from Greek word muxa, meaning mucus.Myxoma is a non-cancerous tumor growth, it contains mucus or gelatin like substance. The term is most often used in the context of Mitral valve prolapse, which is known more technically as "Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve." It can also be used in reference to degeneration of the aortic valve. Myxomatous degeneration of the cardiac valves (MDMV) stands for the non-inflammatory progressive disarray of the valve structure caused by a defect in the mechanical integrity of the leaflet due to the altered synthesis and/or remodeling by type VI collagen]. The gross morphologic features are characterized by voluminous and thickened leaflets, in both longitudinal and transversal axes. This entity involves not only the valve but also the chordae tendineae that has also become thickened, elongated, and sometimes ruptured.

Pathophysiology

The degeneration occurs in conjunction with an accumulation of dermatan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan, within the connective tissuematrix of the valve. The exact mechanism is unknown.

In many cases, the degeneration is limited to the mitral valve and follows a benign course. When associated with systemic diseases, like Marfan syndrome, the degeneration is more extensive and involves otherheart valves. The valves can become sufficiently distorted to cause insufficiency and regurgitation.

Deposition of excessive proteoglycans causes widening of thefibrosa, which extends towards basal aspects and also tends to involve the annulus and chords, which further leads to loss of collagen and elastic tissue.

Myxomatous degeneration can occur in other organs like uterus, where we can see myxomatous degeneration of uterine fibroids.
