About Mitral Valve Prolapse & Regurgitation. A heart murmur that is most pronounced when the stethoscope is positioned at the heart's apex and occurs in the late systolic phase may be caused by mitral valve prolapse. This is also known as floppy valve syndrome. The murmur is normally preceded by a series of clicks.
The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. Valves are actually flaps (leaflets) that act as one-way inlets for blood coming into a ventricle and one-way outlets for blood leaving a ventricle. Normal valves have three flaps (leaflets), except the mitral valve, which only has two flaps. The four heart valves include: Click image to enlarge. Tricuspid valve.
