Facts About Mitral-Valve Prolapse: NHLBI (Excerpt)

When the valve leaflets flap, a clicking sound may be heard. Sometimes the prolapsing of the mitral valve allows a slight flow of blood back into the left atrium. This is called "mitral regurgitation," and may cause a sound called a murmur. Some people with MVP have both a click and a murmur and some have only a click. Many have no unusual heart sounds at all; those who do may have clicks and murmurs that come and go. (Source: excerpt from Facts About Mitral-Valve Prolapse: NHLBI)

Facts About Mitral-Valve Prolapse: NHLBI (Excerpt)

The vast majority of people with MVP have no discomfort at all. Most are surprised to learn that their heart is functioning in any way abnormally. Some individuals report mild and common symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and either "skipping" or "racing" of the heart. More rarely, chest pain is reported. However, these are symptoms that may or may not be related to the MVP. (Source: excerpt from Facts About Mitral-Valve Prolapse: NHLBI)
