This title is also a section found in the book titled: "Common Murmurs, Arrhythmias and Myopathies of the Heart", with this resource being made available to readers specficially interested in the Mitral Valve rolapse Syndrome subject. DECSRIPTION OF THIS TITLE: Mitral Valve Prolapse is a heart murmur found commonly in the general public and can cause heart palpitations, orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing), other symptoms of an imbalanced nervous system and anxiety/panic symptoms. Medical Research studies have found it to be even more common in thyroid disease patients, especially those with autoimmune types of thyroid disorders. It is also believed to be about 5 times more common in females than in males. Many people with MVP do not experience symptoms while those who do are termed as having "MVP-Syndrome". The condition can also cause an imbalance in the "involuntary nervous system" (dysautonomia) and has been associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in some patients who have it. This book can help to provide the reader with a general education regarding the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this very common "click heart murmur". This book (approx. 7,590 words in length) is not intended to be an extensive medical manual but contains information most often sought by laypersons on the subject. CONTENTS: CHAPTER ONE: How MVP-Syndrome May Manifest CHAPTER TWO: Basics about Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome CHAPTER THREE: More about MVP Symptoms CHAPTER FOUR: More about Orthostatic Hypotension CHAPTER FIVE: More about Treament for Mitral Valve Prolapse CHAPTER SIX: Strong Association of Thyroid Disease to MVP CHAPTER SEVEN: Book Review: MVPS-Dysautonomia Survival Guide CHAPTER EIGHT: MVP a Medical cause of Anxiety Symptoms CHAPTER NINE: Coping with MVP-caused Panic Attacks and Severe Anxiety Episodes

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.
