title: Aortic regurgitation in scleroderma.
abstract: Two cases of scleroderma with isolated aortic regurgitation are described. Other known causes of aortic regurgitation were not apparent. None of the patients gave a history of rheumatic fever. It appears likely that aortic regurgitation is related to scleroderma in these two patients. Aortic regurgitation in scleroderma is, however, rare.
