Each heart valve has two important functions: To open correctly so that blood can empty from the chamber. To close properly so that blood cannot flow the wrong way. When the valves and chambers fail to move blood properly, symptoms may eventually develop and may require critically important treatment. Learn more about the roles of your heart valves.
If part of that valve balloons out so that it doesn't close properly, you have mitral valve prolapse. This causes a clicking sound as your heart beats. It's fairly common and it's often not serious. But it can lead to the blood flowing backward through the valve, also called regurgitation. Mitral valve or aortic stenosis: Your mitral or aortic valves are on the left side of your heart. If they narrow, which doctors call stenosis, your heart must work harder to pump blood out to the rest of your body.
