An increased incidence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) has been reported in adult patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of MVP in children and adolescents with juvenile autoimmune thyroiditis (JAT). Cardiac echo studies using M-mode, 2D, and Doppler examinations were performed on 23 patients (21 females, 2 males). The patients were studied at a median age of 12 years (range 5-20 years). Only one patient was found to have evidence suggestive of MVP, an incidence (4.3%) similar to that seen in the normal pediatric population. We, therefore, conclude that the incidence of MVP in children and adolescence with JAT is not increased.
据报道,自身免疫性甲状腺疾病的成年患者二尖瓣脱垂(MVP)发病率增加。本研究的目的是评估青少年自身免疫性甲状腺炎(JAT)患儿和青少年中MVP的发病率。对23例患者(21例女性,2例男性)进行了使用M型、二维和多普勒检查的心脏超声研究。患者的中位年龄为12岁(范围5 - 20岁)。仅发现1例患者有提示MVP的证据,发病率(4.3%)与正常儿科人群相似。因此,我们得出结论,JAT患儿和青少年中MVP的发病率没有增加。
