The Wrestling Observer is reporting that current WWE United States Champion MVP has been diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which is an abnormal accessory pathway in his heart discovered during a physical.
According to the report, it can cause an abnormal heart rhythm and increase the risk of a heart attack. WWE is using this diagnosis to tout the company wellness policy. The company held a routine cardiovascular test in San Jose, which is a twice a year policy of running on a treadmill and then taking an EKG to check the heart valves.
During MVP’s test, they dected an abnormal pattern and he underwent treatment this past Monday explaining why he hasn’t wrestled recently. More tests are scheduled to be taken next week to see if it was a success.
