Summary: solid book
Review: First and only book on MVP I have read. Read it while my heart was jumping out of my chest, on the road 2,400 miles from home. Have suffered "palpitations" for 20 years that doctors never have diagnosed. This book just hit home with things I have been feeling for a very long time. Turns out my mother has MVP. I feel this book helped me very much to feel better about what I "may" have. It gave me a lot of useful info on what to do. It is a basic AMA approach and discourse.

Summary: This book gave me hope!
Review: I recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed or thinks they may have MVP. Lyn Fredrickson takes a rational approach and gives practical, medically sound advice for the person with MVP. After reading this book, I knew I was not dying, and I wasn't crazy. Ms. Fredrickson assured me my symptoms were real, and gave me hope for a life unchained from those symptoms. Don't pay any attention to the reader from State College, PA. They obviously did not read this book. Judge for yourself!

Summary: more psycho-bable than anything else!
Review: Thanks so much for writing this book. I was beginning to think I was losing it! Now I know better. This book helps me to understand my symptoms so much better. I didn't realize there were so many different symptoms related to MVP. I thought all the symptoms I was experiencing were "in my mind", now I don't feel so alone out there. Thanks again, Ms. Frederickson for writing this book.

Summary: Thoroughly recommended.
Review: This book has been a real life saver for me. I have struggled with MVPS for many years. None of the medical experts in the UK mentioned that there was a syndrome associated with MVP which had all of the associated symptoms I was experiencing. This book has changed my quality of life, I cannot thank Lyn Fredrickson enough. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Review: this book pokes fun at people with MVP and MVPS. the author spends too much time on her so called "neuroses" in people with MVP and MVPS. after reading this book i am convinced that the author wrote it only to convince people with MVP and MVPS that their physical condition is basically all in their head. this is just another book that victimizes the victom of a difficult to deal with medical disorder. also, book is very out dated, and very much the opinion of the author not at all any real medicine in this book. spend some more money on a more recent book on MVP and MVPS.

Summary: A Great Place to Start
Review: This is a wonderfully written book. I found it very reassuring. It is a great book that can be shared with family members and friends to help them understand MVP in a more simple and easier way. I give the author so much credit to be able to write it in a way that we can understand, giving the fact that she is medically oriented. This book is a great asset to the world of cardiology.
