Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: There is no evidence regarding the crucial topic of possible correlation between duodenal ulcer disease and mitral valve prolapse syndrome. We herein investigated the potential relationship between these two disorders. Methods: Eighty-three hospitalized patients with active duodenal ulcer disease were compared with 31 healthy controls for the presence of mitral valve prolapse syndrome. All participants underwent cardiac examination and echocardiography. Heart rate, systolic and diastolic pressures were estimated in supine baseline and standing positions. Results: =0.05, respectively). Conclusion: Our findings suggest a clinical and genetic relationship between active duodenal ulcer and mitral valve prolapse syndrome connected with autonomic dysfunction. Further studies are warranted to confirm this crucial topic.
