    Author: Kahaly G, Mohr-Kahaly S, Beyer J, Meyer J.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1995 Dec 15; 76(17):1309-10. PubMed ID: 7503017.
    Abstract:
    In conclusion, given the cardiac (mitral regurgitation, endocarditis, thromboembolic complications, arrhythmic sudden death) and neurologic (cerebral embolic event) complications of the pathologic forms of MVP, physicians should look carefully for myxomatous involvement of the mitral valve and prolapse in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases. Patients should be monitored and prophylactic antibiotic treatment recommended when appropriate.
