    Dear Jackie,

    I also have Mitral Valve Prolapse. Yes, it is more common in people who have GD : according to “Your Thyroid a home reference” by Wood, Cooper, & Ridgway This is a paperback worth buying. It was 5.99 at Barnes & Noble…43% of those with treated or untreated GD have MVP. 41% of Hasimoto’s patients have MVP.New research seems to point to a lesser incindence of MVP in thyroid patients. Severity varies, so many patients have no symptoms & need no treatment. A murmur may suggest that you take antibiotics at dental appt. which break the skin. I don’t know if it has any further significance as to our health than it did before GD. Does it make us more prone to a heart insuffiency? I don’t know. I will ask on Wed. (if I remember to read my list! <g/>” title=”<g>” class=”bbcode_smiley” />). Please don’t worry unneccessarily about it. If you have been aware of your MVP before, you are already doing what is good for you in that respect. Karen </g></p> </div> </div><!-- .bbp-reply-content --> </div><!-- .reply --> <div class=

    Will someone explain MVP here for me? I’m ignorant on this subject and would like to know more.

    Thanks, Bruce
