    Relapsing polychondritis is a rare autoimmune disease affecting cartilage. This study highlights its cardiac complications, including heart valve issues, in two patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Cardiology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystemic autoimmune disorder.
    • Characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilaginous structures, eyes, ears, and cardiovascular system.
    • Cardiac involvement, particularly valvar insufficiency, affects 8% of patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe two cases of relapsing polychondritis with significant cardiac involvement.
    • To underscore the importance of cardiac monitoring in RP patients.
    • To discuss management and outcomes of cardiac complications in RP.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of two patients diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis.
    • Detailed clinical evaluation including cardiac assessment.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of relevant medical literature.

    • Main Results:

    • Both patients presented with relapsing polychondritis and cardiac abnormalities.
    • One patient developed severe valvar insufficiency requiring surgical intervention.
    • This patient experienced complications and mortality within six months post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac involvement is a serious manifestation of relapsing polychondritis.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management of cardiovascular complications are crucial.
    • Outcomes can be poor, emphasizing the need for further research and improved therapeutic strategies.
