Abstract
Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis is the prototypical form of the seronegative spondyloarthropathies. Approximately 2–10% of patients have cardiac involvement. We reported a case of cardiac involvement of ankylosing spondylitis. An accurate imaging identification and differentiation is important for treatment decisions-making. Some nonspecific or uncommon symptoms of cardiac involvement were outstanding such that other departments clinicians excluded or overlooked it. Hence, the misdiagnosis rate of the disease is rather high, especially for cardiac involvement.
