Dear Anita - found the following website whisch should be of use:-
<A HREF="http://www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm">;
http://www.paul_smith.doctors.org.uk/ArchaicMedicalTerms.htm</A>;

Mitral insufficiency is listed thus:-

>>Mitral insufficiency or Mitral regurgitation Means that the mitral valve
of the heart does not close properly and so leaks. This results in the heart
working harder and to heart failure. The commonest causes of mitral
regurgitation are rheumatic fever and high blood pressure
The leaking valve produces a heart murmur. The murmur is so distinctive, even
the most junior or incompetent doctor should make the diagnosis with ease<<


Hope this is of use

Kindest Regards
