What is the prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disease in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
This study aims to evaluate the potential association between mitral valve prolapse and autoimmune thyroid disease.
Abstract reports no results; leaves open any association between autoimmune thyroid disease and mitral valve prolapse.
Objective: The high incidence of non-organ specific autoantibodies in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may suggest an association between MVP and autoimmune diseases. A higher incidence of MVP in patients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and Graves' disease has been demonstrated in various studies. In particular, an increased incidence of MVP in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease characterized with hyperthyroidism may suggest an association between MVP and thyroid functions. To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of literature regarding the evaluation of autoimmune thyroid diseases in patients with MVP. This study primarily aimed to evaluate the autoimmune thyroid disease using thyroid ultrasonography and autoimmune thyroid antibodies in patients with MVP.

Baştuğ et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse was evaluated on Autoimmune thyroid disease (evaluated using thyroid ultrasonography and autoimmune thyroid antibodies). No results are reported in the abstract, which only describes the objective to evaluate autoimmune thyroid disease in patients with mitral valve prolapse.
