Meet MedicAlert Member Cathy, age 56. Cathy hasĀ mitral valve prolapse, and despite it being a life-long disorder, many people with the condition never experience symptoms and are often surprised when they learn they have a heart condition. Not all heart diseases are the same. Different types of disease affect different parts of the heart and some require very particular medications that can carry dangerous side effects.
