Key result
Multimodal imaging reveals severe aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, and LBBB in young ankylosing spondylitis.
Why the study?
Ankylosing spondylitis often involves cardiac manifestations such as valvular disease, conduction disorders, or cardiomyopathy.
Highlights the utility of multimodal imaging in identifying complex cardiac manifestations, including valvular and conduction abnormalities, in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Alerts clinicians to cardiac involvement in ankylosing spondylitis; leaves open the role of multimodal imaging in screening.
Ankylosing spondylitis often involves a heart, such as aortic or mitral regurgitation, conduction disorder, or cardiomyopathy. We present a 34-year-old male patient with ankylosing spondylitis who has severe aortic regurgitation, mild mitral stenosis, and a conduction disturbance of the left bundle branch block, identified using multimodal images.
