Flashcard 3110: Identify the clinical condition associated with a **mid-systolic click** and a **late systolic murmur** heard best at the apex.

Answer: Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP)

Extra: The click is caused by the sudden tensing of the chordae tendineae as the mitral valve leaflets prolapse into the left atrium. The murmur is due to mitral regurgitation. Maneuvers that decrease left ventricular volume (e.g., standing, Valsalva) cause the click and murmur to occur earlier in systole.
