Mitral valve prolapse causes blood to leak back into the __________ when the ventricles contract.

Answered by admin @



I think the correct answer would be the left atrium. Mitral valve stenosis is the narrowing of the mitral valve in the heart. This valve does not properly open which blocks the flow of blood  into the left atrium. Hope this answers the question.
