Mitral regurgitation is associated with rheumatic carditis and mitral valve prolapse. It is not associated with aortic stenosis, cellulitis, or pulmonary fibrosis. Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve, not related to the mitral valve. Cellulitis is inflammation in tissue, and pulmonary fibrosis is a scarring in the tissue of the lung.
