A potential association between mitral valve prolapse and symptoms of fear, anxiety, and depression in children and adolescents has not been well-documented despite the prevalence of this cardiac condition and a demonstrated linkage of these variables in adults. To preliminarily address this situation, we compared adolescents with mitral valve prolapse, a control group of adolescents with another cardiac condition, and normative values for the dependent measures used in this study. Results indicated that youngsters aware of having mitral valve prolapse rated themselves as significantly more anxious and depressed than youngsters in the control group and normative values. The implications of this study for future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
