Mitral valve prolapse is a condition where the mitral valve leaflets bulge back into the left upper heart chamber during each heartbeat. Most cases are harmless but some are linked to complications. An MRI may show changes in cardiac structure consistent with mitral valve prolapse. Finding mitral valve prolapse early allows for monitoring and management of any associated risk factors. Echocardiography is the primary tool for valve assessment, however MRI can show associated cardiac structural changes.
