Katie was diagnosed with Mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation, also known as mitral valve regurgitation, and will have to undergo surgery.
– News4JAX meteorologist Katie Garner opened up to viewers Friday about her recent heart condition diagnosis .
In this condition, the valve between the left heart chambers doesn’t close fully. Blood leaks backward across the valve. If the leakage is severe, not enough blood moves through the heart or to the rest of the body. Mitral valve regurgitation can make you feel very tired or short of breath. The cardiologist told Katie that she has had this since birth, and it’s the type of condition that you have to be very careful exerting yourself.
