Cardiac Manifestations of Antiphospholipid Syndrome With Focus on Its Primary Form

[Cardiac and cerebral manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome].

UNLABELLED We describe cardiac and cerebral manifestations in 27 patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome and give a review of the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 27 patients with either cardiac, cerebral or both manifestations, who also were diagnosed with the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). All patients fulfilled the proposed classification criteria for the APS according to ...

Cardiac tamponade in a patient with predominantly cutaneous manifestations of primary antiphospholipid syndrome.

The cardiac manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome and their echocardiographic recognition.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, hypercoagulability, vascular thrombosis, and recurrent fetal loss. Cardiac involvement occurs frequently. Leaflet thickening and vegetations are detected quite often echocardiographically, but hemodynamically significant stenotic and/or regurgitant valvular disease is uncommon. Anti...

Neurological manifestations in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome

BACKGROUND Anti-phospholipids syndrome (APS) is considered a non inflammatory auto-immune disease with a significant thrombophilic risk with varied clinical manifestations. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the frequency of thrombotic and non-thrombotic events in patients with APS. METHODS In this retrospective study, 102 definite APS subjects were recruited (2007-2011) at A...
