A Complete Look at Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome: The World's Most Common Heart Murmur
A veteran writer of health subjects, I'm also a husband, father and grandfather and a lifetime contract salesman. I complete studies of theology- Liberty University (1996). A heart murmur was detected in me as a teen in the 1970s and they diagnosed it at a cardiologist's office as Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a potentially serious type of heart murmur but over 20 years later at age 38 I had a new Cardiologist rule out my ever having WPWS with an EKG/Stress Test. I knew nothing about MVP at the time but after extensive search online, I realized that this is what I was experiencing for all of those years and that I still have symptoms of to this day. The nervous system related symptoms of the “syndrome” caused by MVP, in fact worsened in my case to some degree with the onset of autoimmune thyroid disease. I at times believe my CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) diagnosis, which was co morbid to my treated thyroid disorder also has MVP-S as a major contributing factor. It is the goal of my books on the MVP subject, to provide good general educational resources for readers seeking information on this very common heart murmur.
