mitral valve prolapse is a very common disorder.. in fact the most common cardiac lesion affecting 7 % of population.. most commonly it is asymptomatic, but wen severe can lead to regurgitation.. mitral valve has two leaflets, anterior & posterior, n anterior one is common to prolapse, which leads to mitral regurgitation with prolapse causing radiation of murmurs in axilla in the direction of jet of blood. mitral valve prolapse is commonly seen with polycystic kidney disease, marfan's syndrome n if symptomatic & still not treated then can lead to arrythemias, sudden death & infective endocarditis.. but mostly it is usually benign. it can also happen with myocardial infarction, wen there's damage to a muscle (papillary muscle) controlling it's function.. jus dont ignore it all.. hv a consultation with ur cardiologist... n he'll sure tell u abt it & remove all ur anxities abt it.. & m sure he'll definitely tell u that it is only a finding, without any associated risk..

Mitral valve prolapse is seen in 3% of healthy normal adults. Most often it is asymptomatic and inconsequential. Sometimes it must be dealt with. While it can be associated with some of the conditions the poster above mentioned, it is unlikely that you have any of these and he could be scaring you just by mentioning them. Pulmonary regurgitation is often found incidentally on an echocardiogram. Thus, what I'm trying to say is that you may not have any "heart disease" at all. You need to discuss these issues with your doctor.
