I looked up muscular Valve Prolapse.

It redirected to Mitral Valve Prolapse so I guess it is the same thing.

Description of Mitral Valve Prolapse

Although, in general, healthy hearts are structurally similar, like other parts of the body, there are individual variations. The heart's valves work to maintain the flow of blood in one direction, ensuring proper circulation. When the valve leaflets flap, a clicking sound may be heard. Sometimes the prolapsing of the mitral valve allows a slight flow of blood back into the left atrium, which is called "mitral regurgitation," and this may cause a sound called a murmur.
Mitral valve prolapse is often called the "clickmurmur syndrome" because these sounds are often heard. Some people with mitral valve prolapse have both a click and a murmur, and some have only a click. Many have no unusual heart sounds at all; those who do, may have clicks and murmurs which come and go.

Causes of Mitral Valve Prolapse

Mitral valve prolapse is one of the most frequently made cardiac diagnoses in the U.S. and is more common in women than in men. It also occurs more often in women who have scoliosis or other skeletal abnormalities.
It appears to be congenital and present at birth but is not usually detected until later.

Symptoms of Mitral Valve Prolapse

Most people with mitral valve prolapse do not have symptoms. Some people may have brief episodes of rapid heartbeat (palpitation) or chest pain that is not typical of angina. A few may experience fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, or loss of consciousness. An extremely rare occurrence is sudden death.
About 15 percent of people with mitral valve prolapse may experience symptoms of valve leakage that are significant enough to require careful evaluation of the mitral valve and consideration of valve surgery.

Mitral valve prolapse may place one at risk for infective endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart). Although the risk is small, endocarditis is such a serious complication that most doctors will recommend that preventive antibiotics be taken before and after dental and some surgical procedures.

Many people with mitral valve prolapse suffer from undue anxiety. Perhaps this anxiety is in some ways explainable. Many people visit doctors with otherwise inexplicable aches or pains or strange sensations. By default, in those who have mitral valve prolapse, the condition becomes a scapegoat. Naturally, the patient becomes concerned. However, the mitral valve prolapse actually is not the source of the problem.

Treatment for Mitral Valve Prolapse

Most often, treatment for mitral valve prolapse is not necessary. If symptoms develop and interfere with the enjoyment of life, beta-blocking drugs may be helpful in relieving palpitations or chest discomfort. Individuals with signs of severe mitral valve prolapse are at greater risk for both infective endocarditis and problems associated with mitral regurgitation, including heart failure.

I had mine with no insurance the first one, then some months after that I got on my wifes insurance and had what they called a cardiac event, the only symptoms to that one was a little pain in the chest the size of a fifty cent piece when I talked and a little dizzy, infact I drove myself to the ER to get checked out and another stent placed

infact the doctor who put the stent in told me that a women came in with just pain in her little finger, no where else

people dont fucking wait when a small pain in your chest doesnt go away, quick thinking and acting and not waiting around increases your chance of a normal life after an attack

all and all i was very lucky to have hardly any heart muscle damage
and a treadmill stress test showed a near normal ejection fraction

women are different then men, often they don't have hardly any chest pain and have pain else where and that's often why they have a lot of muscle damage, cause they dont think there heart needs serviced, women also have smaller coronary arteries and stents are to hard to place farther down in there coronary branch and often more women then men need a bypass

all the info I just gave is fact and after I had mine I did a lot of research on heart disease

and hang in there jaymie

Do you think is it a joke?
