		Mitral orifice is posterior to the left half of the sternum at the level of the fourth costal cartilage.tricuspid orifice is posterior to the middle of the sternum at the level of the fourth intercostal space.
		Conduction of the systolic murmur of mitral valve prolapse depends upon the valve leaflet maximally affected and the direction of the regurgitant stream.It may be conducted towards the axilla in prolapse of the anterior leaflet and medially in prolapse of the posterior mitral leaflet.
