Jenny Garth Has A Heart Defect

90210's Jenny Garth doesn't seem to have any noticeable health issues but looks can be deceiving. Jenny Garth recently told Access Hollywood that she has leaky heart valve.

“I have a leaky heart valve and it’s a common thing.  A lot of people have it and don’t even 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…it’s weird because sometimes when I’m resting I can feel a little weird fluttering.”

What prompted Jennie to talk about her heart?  The actress lost her father last year after he battled heart disease

for many years.

Is this serious? If you don't watch it or get the valve replaced when needed, yes. But otherwise no. Jenny says she hears of people getting their heart valve replaced all the time. Until something serious happens Jenny says she will continue to live her life to the fullest.
