Click murmur syndrome is a disorder that develops when your mitral valve of your heart does not close the way that it ought to. When this happens, it may result in blood being permitted to leak back into your left atrium. This is what is known as mitral valve regurgitation.  Click murmur syndrome, the heart disorder, may qualify you for social security disability benefits.   The mitral valve of your heart is also known as your left atrioventricular valve or your bicuspid valve. Your mitral valve is what is referred to as a dual-flap valve. Your mitral valve separates the ventricle (lower) and atrium (upper) chambers of the left side of your heart. Your mitral valve has the task of controlling blood flow from your left atrium into your left ventricle.

The most common heart valve abnormality in the United States is click murmur syndrome. In fact, it is thought that as high as 10% of the general population of the United States may have some kind of click murmur syndrome.
