This question can only be answered for certain by a military doctor at a MEPS or surgeon general.
Gather any and all medical records you can especially relating to the heart condition and bring them to a recruiter for your branch of choice. They can send them to a military doctor for review and determination. The answer can come back quick (a few days) or if it goes to the surgeon general it can take a couple of months.
If you are serious about the military then jump on this fast because it can take a while to complete the process due to additional medical tests that may need to be done.

Does the mitral valve prolapse increase decrease the stroke volume?
Mitral valve prolapse may decrease the stroke volume, if it is associated with significant backflow. It decreases the effeciency of the left ventricular contraction.
Why does mitral valve prolapse occur more often than tricuspid prolapse?
Because there is much more pressure on the mitral valve.Mitral valve prolapse occur more often than tricuspid valve prolapses because the mitral valve is attached to the left ventricle by two chordae tendinae, whereas the tricuspid valve adheres to the right ventricle via three chordae tendinae.
