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 mitral valve is typically 4 to 6 square centimetres (0.62 to 0.93 sq in) in area, and sits in the left heart between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It has two leaflets (or 'cusps'), an anteromedial leaflet, and a posterolateral leaftlet. The opening of the mitral valve is surrounded by a fibrous ring known as the mitral annulus.
