[Aortal regurgitation and atrioventricular block III in Wegener's granulomatosis].
The article presents a clinical observation of a female patient suffering from Wegener's granulomatosis with a rare variant of cardiac involvement--a combination of an aortal valvular disease (aortal regurgitation) and total atrioventricular blockade--who later underwent pacemaker implantation. The direct cause of the lethal outcome in this patient was destructive pancreatitis. Data from Russian and foreign literature on cardiac pathology in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis are analyzed.
