title: Severe mitral and aortic regurgitation in association with ankylosing spondylitis.
abstract: Aortic disease and aortic valve regurgitation are well documented in association with ankylosing spondylitis, although involvement of the mitral valve occurs more rarely. We report a case of severe mitral and aortic regurgitation in association with ankylosing spondylitis. We then discuss the characteristic cardiac manifestations that may occur in association with ankylosing spondylitis and the associated echocardiographic features.
