| 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.

| mitral valve prolapse s. |
prolapse of the mitral valve, often with regurgitation, associated with myxomatous proliferation of the leaflets of the mitral valve, a common, usually benign, often asymptomatic condition characterized by midsystolic clicks and late systolic murmurs on auscultation. Palpitations and chest discomfort may occur, and in some cases progressive mitral regurgitation necessitates valve replacement. Called also Barlow's s., click-murmur s., floppy valve s., MVP s., and systolic click–murmur s.
