Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Rheumatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Non-specific aorto-arteritis (Takayasu arteritis) is a large vessel vasculitis affecting the aorta and its branches.
  • Cardiac involvement is a serious complication, but its spectrum and prevalence require further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively evaluate cardiac manifestations in patients diagnosed with non-specific aorto-arteritis.
  • To assess the impact of this vasculitis on cardiac function, hemodynamics, and coronary arteries.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 75 patients with non-specific aorto-arteritis underwent detailed clinical examination.
  • Echocardiography, cardiac catheterization with angiography, and coronary angiography were performed.
  • Histopathological analysis of cardiac tissues was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Cardiac failure was observed in 27 patients, characterized by reduced ejection fraction (25-48%).
  • Systemic hypertension was prevalent (60 cases), with elevated central aortic and left ventricular pressures in 66 cases.
  • Aortic regurgitation (15 cases), mitral regurgitation (12 cases), and pulmonary hypertension (6 cases) were noted. Coronary artery obstruction occurred in 6 patients. Dilated cardiomyopathy was seen in 3 patients.

Conclusions:

  • Non-specific aorto-arteritis significantly affects cardiovascular health, leading to diverse cardiac complications including heart failure, hypertension, and valve dysfunction.
  • Early detection and management of cardiac involvement are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with this condition.
