Can be bad: Mitral valve prolapse (mvp) is disorder of the mitral valve that cause the leaflets to close abnormally. This leads to abnormal stresses in the structure of the valve. Cocaine causes the heart to beat much harder/faster which can cause parts of the valve (cords) to tear. This causes a sudden leak in the valve which may result in sudden heart failure. More common though are sudden heart attacks.
