Abstract
Psychologic Cornell index (N 4) testing was applied on 40 schoolchildren with IMVP and 30 schoolchildren in the control group. Twelve abnormal scores have been registred. Psychoneurosis was found in 35% scholchildren with IMVP and 22.2% schoolchildren of the control group. The anxiety was present in 77.5% schoolchildren with IMVP and 69% of the control group. The abnormal phobic scores were present in 40% schoolchildren with IMVP and 25% of the control group. The abnormal scores for depression were obtained in 25% schoolchildren with IMVP and 22.2% of the control group. The abnormal scores for aggression had 30% schoolchildren with IMVP and 30% of the control group. Psychopathic deviation appeared in 30% schoolchildren with IMVP and 27.5% of the control group. Our conclusion is that psychological disorders and mitral valve prolapse do not appear to be related: they are two unrelated entities.
