Former and current resident of 90210 Jennie Garth is speaking out about a serious condition she has concerning her heart. The actress suffers from a leaky valve, a common ailment for people, but still quite serious.
As she explains: “A lot of people have it. They don’t know they have it… [it] leaks blood. It’s your connection to your heart… your artery, the main artery that goes to your heart. It sort of flutters open and shut sort of a thing… it’s weird because sometimes when I’m resting I can feel a little weird fluttering.”
Jennie has been dealing with the condition for about seven years, but only after the recent death of her father from a heart condition has she now decided to talk about her struggle and become involved in the fight against heart disease.
