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.
Doctors may diagnose mitral valve prolapse at any age. Your doctor is most likely to diagnose mitral valve prolapse while listening to your heart with a stethoscope during a physical examination. If you have mitral valve prolapse, your doctor may hear a clicking sound, which is common with this condition. Your doctor may detect a heart murmur, which would be due to mitral regurgitation if it is present. Other tests that may be used to evaluate your heart may include: Echocardiogram.
