What causes mitral valve prolapse
Hi I am 51 year old male and recently diagnosed with Mitral valve prolapse. The doctor has told its nothing dangerous and I do not need to worry about it as it may not lead to any severe problem currently. However I would want to know what can cause it so that I can take precautions accordingly?
