title: [Absence of mitral valve prolapse during panic attacks induced by sodium lactate].
abstract: The recent identification of a new type of anxiety state, panic attack, has drawn attention to common pathways between panic disorder and cardiac somatization, particularly mitral valve collapse. A double-blind study was set up, using doppler-echocardiography during a panic attack induced by sodium lactate infusion. The results showed that there was no relationship between panic attack and mitral valve collapse, and that the lactate infusion-anxiety rate was only 35 percent.
