Hello,
Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the heart is unable to supply enough oxygenated blood to the body. So any situation in which the body demands more oxygen like heavy exercise, can worsen the condition. So body building in the gym is not advisable.
Whey protein and carbohydrate shakes are not restricted in this condition.
All the best.
