As 90210's Kelly Taylor, Jennie Garth has learned a thing or two about matters of the heart.
But cardiovascular health, not romance, is the actress's real-life concern.
"I've been affected by heart disease practically my whole life," Garth, 37, tells Access Hollywood. "My father has struggled with heart disease since he was 50 and I lost him a year ago."
(Garth told PEOPLE that her father's death, coupled with her 5-year-old daughter Lola's battle with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, made for "six months of hell" last year.)
The mother of three now reveals she has her own heart issue – a leaky valve – which was discovered seven years ago.
