Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Barlow syndrome?

Why is the mitral valve bicuspid?
… opening is guarded by the mitral, or bicuspid, valve, so named because it consists of two flaps. The mitral valve is attached in the same manner as the tricuspid, but it is stronger and thicker because the left ventricle is by nature a more powerful pump working under high pressure.
What does mitral valve prolapse feel like?

The discomfort may also be felt in the back, the shoulders, and the arms, as well as the neck and the jaw. For some, mitral valve prolapse chest pain feels like heartburn or burning in the chest.
