Biological markers in panic states: lactate-induced panic and mitral valve prolapse.

Abstract	Anxious patients, and more specifically, patients experiencing panic attacks, are thought to have a significant biological component to their illness. This study looks at two promising biological markers associated with this patient population-mitral valve prolapse and lactate-induced panic. We present our findings, which further characterize clinical and biological aspects of these two markers.
