    Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is significantly more common in patients with Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSNHL). This suggests MVP may be a contributing factor to sudden hearing loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Otolaryngology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Investigated the association between mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSNHL).
    • Utilized 2D-echocardiography in 349 subjects (86 ISSNHL, 263 controls).

    Discussion:

    • Patients with ISSNHL exhibited significantly higher prevalence of MVP (29.1% vs 2.7%, p<0.001).
    • Associated findings in ISSNHL group included increased mitral leaflet thickening (15.1% vs 2.3%, p<0.001), mitral regurgitation (16.3% vs 6.5%, p=0.02), and left atrial enlargement (11.6% vs 3.8%, p=0.01).

    Key Insights:

    • MVP is strongly correlated with ISSNHL.
    • Specific echocardiographic abnormalities are more prevalent in individuals with ISSNHL.

    Outlook:

    • Results support MVP as a potential etiological factor in ISSNHL.
    • Further research may elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms linking MVP to sudden hearing loss.
