Differentiation of anxious patients by two-dimensional echocardiographic evaluation of the mitral valve
SR Dager, KA Comess and DL Dunner
Forty-four anxious patients with a history of panic attacks had a
significantly higher prevalence of mitral valve abnormalities than 20
patients with generalized anxiety only. The higher number of mitral valve
abnormalities was not correlated with the frequency of panic attacks.
