Julie: Mitral Valve Prolapse

 

Julie is a mother of four—she spends her time supporting her family, playing piano, biking and baking. Soon after having her youngest son, Julie discovered she had premature ventricular contractions. Several years later, her condition progressed to ventricular tachycardia, which can be a dangerous heart rhythm if left untreated. Listen to Julie's story to find out how she's doing today.
