[Clinical data analysis of cardiovascular involvement in Behcet's disease]
Objective:
To analysis the clinical features of cardiovascular involvement in Behcet's disease.
Methods:
We reviewed 35 medical records of Behcet's disease with cardiovascular lesions in Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2002 to January 2014. 77.1% patients (27/35) were male. The mean (x±s) age when cardiovascular diseases occur was 37.19±10.4 years in male and 36.0±8.6 years in female respectively.
Results:
The clinical spectrum of cardiovascular abnormalities included valvular regurgitation (20, 57.1%), conduction system disturbances (10, 28.6%), intracardiac thrombosis(1, 2.9%), aneurysms of the arteries (13, 37.1%), artery stenosis or occlusion (5, 14.3%), pulmonary vascular diseases(3, 8.6%), venous thrombosis(4, 11.4%). Twenty patients had more than one of these lesions. Inflammatory indicators had no significantly difference between the above subgroups (P>0.05). Treatments included corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs, together with symptomatic treatments, intervention therapy and operation.Two inpatient died from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and cardiac shock respectively.
Conclusions:
Cardiovascular involvement is a remarkable systemic lesion of Behcet's disease. Multi-subject cooperation is beneficial for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
