Was the writer trying to say the subject felt the need to meet his maker with little or no guilt? Sorry, I think I just answered Frank's question... with an answer and a question.Thank God for TicTacToe huh?JeffWow, was that insightful, or what???Jeff, you da' man!

Most folks who have it have no clue, as they have no symptoms, or if they do get occasional sympotms they attribute these symptoms (dizziness, palpitations, or atypical chest pain) due to other things (ie the coffeee they just drank).It is not associated with heart attacks, nor is it associated with a reduced lifespan. Endocarditis prophylaxis recommendations have been cut back over the years, and now only include a single dose of antibitotics just prior to a procedure. Given the frequency of PMV, and infrequency of endocarditis, even this single dose recommendation is being disputed by some.For folks interested in learning more: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mitral-valve-prolapse/DS00504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not after having many relatives die of them. They ARE NOT a laughing matter PERIOD!I'm not much into the poor-me routine, but if you wanna talk credentials, my dad and six of his sibs along with my mom and her 2 sibs all died of heart disease. I've survived three MCIs - one of which was a widow-maker, I've been to the cardiac cath lab three times, and am currently being treated for moderate-to-severe heart failure. I think that pretty much covers my ante at this table.Funny is funny. Period. Sometimes the joke is on me, other times it's on someone else. I don't see much difference between constipation, cancer, heart disease or auto sequencers. The central crux of the matter, Orv, comes down to whether or not a person can laugh at themselves. You apparently cannot and that's too bad. Unfortunately for you, there's a whole lot of other people here, including me, who CAN laugh at themselves, and that in and of itself allows us to laugh at others also. You should try it sometime. It might change your entire outlook on life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
