∙ 11y agoThe condition of the valve is called valvular prolapse (a prolapsed valve), and normally affects the mitral valve, which divides the left atrium from the left ventricle. Failure of the valve to close results in the flow of blood back into the atrium when the left ventricle contracts. This results in decreased efficiency of the heart.

∙ 14y agoRegurgitation is also called insufficiency or incompetence. Regurgitation happens when a valve doesn't close properly and blood leaks backward instead of moving in the proper one-way flow. If too much blood flows backward, only a small amount can travel forward to your body's organs. Your heart tries to make up for this by working harder, but with time your heart will become enlarged (dilated) and less able to pump blood through your body.
or....
Stenosis happens when the leaflets do not open wide enough and only a small amount of blood can flow through the valve. Stenosis happens when the leaflets thicken, stiffen, or fuse together. Because of the narrowed valve, your heart must work harder to move blood through your body.
