| mitral valve prolapse |
the most common heart problem. With this problem, the mitral valve bulges slightly back into the left atrium when it closes. This may allow a tiny amount of blood to leak backward. Minor symptoms such as minor chest pain or palpitations may occur. Mitral valve prolapse is usually not serious. May be present from birth, or may develop later in life.

| mitral valve prolapse |
The mitral valve is the only valve with two flaps. It separates the left atrium and the left ventricle. Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) occurs when one or both of the flaps gets enlarged. The valve then doesn't close correctly and some blood leaks backwards.
