    Panic attacks, mitral valve prolapse, and autoimmune thyroid disorders appear linked. This study investigated cardiac and thyroid issues in 65 patients experiencing panic attacks, finding significant associations.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Panic disorder is linked to mitral valve prolapse and thyroid issues.
    • Mitral valve prolapse and thyroid abnormalities have also been associated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate cardiac and thyroid abnormalities in patients with panic attacks.
    • To determine the relationship between panic attacks, mitral valve prolapse, and thyroid disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Consecutive series of 65 patients referred for panic attack evaluation.
    • Cardiac auscultation and echocardiography for mitral valve prolapse assessment.
    • Thyroid function and antibody testing.

    Main Results:

    • 50% of patients had mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

  • 26% of women exhibited thyroid abnormalities, with 17% having thyroid microsomal antibodies.
  • No direct correlation found between MVP and thyroid abnormalities.

    • Conclusions:

    • Panic attacks, mitral valve prolapse, and autoimmune thyroid disorders are associated.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these associations.
