A member asked:
My doctor said that i have mild mitral valve prolapse. is it a risk factor for future heart disease?

Not really: If it is associated with a loud murmur or a lot of back flow of blood, that is a different story. Just have it followed up by serial echocardiograms every few years by a good cardiologist.
