Initial reports of remarkably high prevalence of aortic and mitral regurgitation (AR and MR) as assessed by echocardiography in five separate populations [ 2 ] were subsequently supported by most [ 3 4 5 ] but not all investigators [ 6 ] . These uncontrolled reports were soon followed by a series of studies in which prevalence of echocardiographically-defined AR and MR were assessed in persons who had taken fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine, phentermine, or combinations of these medications and compared to unexposed, matched control populations [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ] . The most recent of these studies found 30% of persons currently taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had mild or greater AR or moderate or greater MR, similar to the very high prevalence reported in older studies [ 15 ] . The only prospective study found a significant, exposure-related increase in the risk of clinically diagnosed valve disease among users of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, but not phentermine [ 16 ] .
There were differences in study design and methods (though most were quite similar), fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine doses (though in most studies, doses were similar), additional drugs used, patient characteristics, interval between cessation of therapy and echocardiography, and completeness of follow-up.
