Findings from two European studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine the week of January 1, 2007 show that two dopamine agonist drugs used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Restless Leg Syndrome may raise the risk of cardiac valve damage and cardiac valve regurgitation.
According to the studies, while taking other dopamine agonists seemed to have no effect on the risk of cardiac valve regurgitation, use of Permax or Dostinex raised the risk of valve regurgitation by 7.1- and 4.9-fold, respectively.
Cardiac valve regurgitation occurs when the heart valve fails to seal properly in the reverse-flow direction.
