Rheumatic diseases can affect the aorta, leading to various presentations and clinical significance. Early diagnosis of aortic involvement in rheumatic patients is crucial for timely intervention and preventing severe complications.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Rheumatic inflammatory diseases present a spectrum of aortic involvement.
  • Understanding the prevalence and mechanisms is key to managing associated cardiovascular risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the prevalence, mechanisms, presentations, and clinical significance of aortic involvement in rheumatic inflammatory diseases.
  • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and management.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of the medical field was conducted using PUBMED.
  • Relevant articles detailing aortic involvement in rheumatic diseases were selected and summarized.

Main Results:

  • Certain rheumatic disorders, including Takayasu's arteritis and ankylosing spondylitis, show high aortic involvement prevalence (>10%).

  • Aortic disease manifestations depend on the affected region, presenting as pain, dilatation, narrowing, or aneurysm.
  • Histopathology reveals inflammatory infiltrates, while non-inflammatory damage includes cystic medial degeneration and accelerated atherosclerosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Awareness of rheumatic conditions with high aortic involvement potential is vital.
    • Informed consideration of aortic complications in rheumatic patients can advance early diagnosis.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management may prevent fatal cardiovascular events.
