[Cardiac lesions in Takayasu's disease. A case with initial pericarditis and tamponade].
The authors report the case of 21-year old female patient with a particular form of Takayasu's disease remarkable for its initial presentation and its cardiac and coronary lesions. The disease began with miscarriage at the 5th months of pregnancy, followed by acute pericarditis with tamponade. Subsequently, lesions of the aortic and mitral valves developed, while the myocardium became involved with left ventricular dilatation and hypokinesia confirmed by echocardiography and cineangiography. Coronary arteriography revealed large coronary aneurysms which are exceptional in this disease. This case prompted the authors to discuss the various cardiac lesions and the relationship of Takayasu's disease with pregnancy.
