[Clinical features of gastrointestinal diseases in patients with primary mitral prolapse].
Whether patients with mitral prolapse (MP) have specific features in the course of their gastrointestinal diseases (GD) was studied in 420 MP patients with various GD. Echocardiography and examination of the vegetative status were conducted in all the patients. On demand, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, ultrasonic investigation of the abdominal organs, multistage fraction duodenal intubation were made. The findings evidence of more severe course of GD in MP patients. This manifests in early onset, severe pain and dispeptic syndromes, marked mucosal inflammation and is explained by dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system and generalized dysplasia of the connective tissue.
