Mitral Valve Prolapse vs Mitral Valve Atresia?

Is Mitral Valve Prolapse the same as Mitral Valve Atresia. I am asking for the sake of qualifying for Social Security Disability via their "Compassionate Allowance" eligibility.

Mitral valve prolapse indicates a leaking valve. Mitral valve atresia is the name given to a valve that is closed.
