    Transesophageal echocardiogram of mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse classification. Diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse is based on modern echocardiographic techniques which can pinpoint abnormal leaflet thickening and other related pathology. Echocardiography is the most useful method of diagnosing a prolapsed mitral valve. Two- and ...

    Dysfunction of any of these portions of the mitral valve apparatus can cause regurgitation. [citation needed] The most common cause of MR in developed countries is mitral valve prolapse. [10] It is the most common cause of primary mitral regurgitation in the United States, causing about 50% of cases. Myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve ...

    A valve prolapse can result in mitral insufficiency, which is the regurgitation or backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium due to the incomplete closure of the valve causing a systolic murmur heard at the apex of the heart. This increase in pressure in the left atrium and pulmonary circuit can lead to symptoms like fatigue ...

    The main type of prolapse of heart valves in humans is mitral valve prolapse (MVP), which is a valvular heart disease characterized by the displacement of an abnormally thickened mitral valve leaflet into the left atrium during systole. Tricuspid valve prolapse can cause tricuspid regurgitation. [1]

    If the mitral valve doesn’t open enough, it gets harder to fill the left ventricle, called mitral valve stenosis. Let’s start with mitral valve regurgitation - the leading cause of mitral valve regurgitation in the United States and the most common of all valvular conditions is mitral valve prolapse.

  7. Systolic heart murmur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systolic_heart_murmur

    Mitral valve prolapse: This is the most common cause of late systolic murmurs. It can be heard best over the apex of the heart, usually preceded by clicks. The most common cause of mitral valve prolapse is "floppy" valve (Barlow's) syndrome. If the prolapse becomes severe enough, mitral regurgitation may occur.
