Mitral valve prolapse (aka primary form of myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve aka floppy mitral valve syndrome) is a valvular heart disease aka systolic click murmur syndrome aka billowing mitral leaflet syndrome, characterized by the displacement of an abnormally thickened mitral valve leaflet into the left atrium during systole. There a...

The mitral valve is the only valve with just two flaps. It separates the left atrium and the left ventricle. Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) occurs when one or both of the flaps get enlarged. The valve then doesn't close correctly and some blood leaks backwards. (Read about MVP in 'The Heart and Its Valves')
