Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Aortic regurgitation (AR) and first-degree atrioventricular heart block (FDAVB) are encountered in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This rheumatological disease also presents in 90% of the cases an immunogenetic marker that is Human Leucocyte Antigen-B27 (HLA-B27). In this report we describe a case of a patient presenting with AR, FDAVB, aneurysm and thinning of the ascending aortic wall, aneurysm of the sinuses of Valsalva and inferior myocardial infarction-like electrocardiographic pattern with unknown cardiac AS and absence of other AS-related systemic manifestations. |
