Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse is the most common heart disease, and panic disorder is a common chronic mental illness. The symptoms of panic disorder are similar with those of mitral valve prolapse, and therefore misdiagnoses often occur. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between mitral valve prolapse and panic disorder with the data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). There were 15,350 patients of mitral valve prolapse, and 587,735 patients without mitral valve prolapse in this study between 1998 and 2010. Cox-proportional model was used to analyze the association between mitral valve prolapse and panic disorder. This study found that patients with mitral valve prolapse were 1.92 times more likely to have panic disorder than patients without it. Therefore, patients with mitral valve prolapse have a higher risk of panic disorder. As for gender difference, male patients were 0.6183 times more likely to have panic disorder than female patients. It is also found that every one year increase in age increases the risk of illness by 1.0159 times. It is hoped that through the results of this study, patients with mitral valve prolapse will have better care, proper relief, and better quality of life.
