Behcet's disease and cardiovascular involvement : our experience of asymptomatic Behcet's patients : cardiovascular topic

Abstract

SummaryAbstractBehcet’s syndrome is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with vasculitis, and arterial, venous and cardiac disorders. Thirty-eight Behcet’s disease patients were examined prospectively with echocardiography, ultrasonography and computed tomography, and coagulation parameters were determined. Deep venous insufficiency was found in 16 patients, venous thrombosis in seven, one patient had iliac artery stenosis, three had carotid arterial intimal proliferation, two patients had aortic annulus dilatation, six had aortic valve insufficiency, and three had mitral valve insufficiency. None had coagulation defects. To decrease morbidity and mortality rates, a multidisciplinary approach is important for early diagnosis of cardiovascular involvement in Behcet’s disease.

Behçet's disease and risk of vascular events

“…The frequency of anticardiolipin antibodies in Behçet's disease varies between 0 and 47%. Hull et al [40] found a significant association with anticardiolipin antibodies, although most reports have found no correlation between these antibodies and vascular events [41].…”

Bilateral Hemophthalmus — the First Symptom of Behcet’s Disease (Clinical Case)

“…В мае-июне 2014 г. пациенту проведено биохимиче-ское исследование крови: Альбумин -61,5% (норма-55,8-66,1%), альфа1-глобулин -4,6% (2,9-4,9), альфа2-глобулин -11,1% (7,(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)8), бета1-глобулин -5,7% (4,7-7,2), бета2-глобулин -5,6% (3,2-6,5), гамма-глобулин -11,5% (11,(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)8). ОАК: WBC 7,9-109%, LYM 38,7%, MON 7,3%, GRA 54 %, RBC 5,3-1012%, HGB 149g/l, HCT 406, MCV 78, PLT 376-109%.…”

“…The patient was counseled at the Institute of Rheumatology, where were determined the diagnosis of Behcet's disease.This paper shows the clinical data and the results of additional tests (OCT, fluorescein angiography, ultrasonography), the results of blood biochemical examination and immune status. Болезнь Бехчета (болезнь Адамантиада -Бехчета, болезнь «шелкового пути») -системное хроническое идиопатическое воспалительное заболевание неизвест-ной этиологии с рецидивирующим течением [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Tratamento endovascular de aneurisma de aorta abdominal com erosão de vértebra lombar associada à doença de Behçet: relato de caso

“…2,3 Vascular manifestations include stenoses and occlusions, thrombosis, or formation of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, with incidence rates ranging from 25 to 30% of patients, the most common of which is deep venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. 3,4 In isolation, arterial involvement is rare, but is associated with potentially fatal complications, primarily due to development of aneurysms. [3][4][5] The vessel most often involved is the abdominal aorta, followed by the femoral artery and the pulmonary arteries, so the risk of surgical complications is high and morbidity and mortality rates are elevated.…”
