Abstract
A clinical case of recurrent polychondritis with damage to the cardiovascular system in the form of the development of acute coronary syndrome is presented. Recurrent polychondritis is a rare systemic presumably autoimmune disease that is affecting cartilage tissue. The main cause of high mortality in patients with systemic diseases is the early formation and accelerated progression of atherosclerotic vascular lesions that cause the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic heart failure and sudden death. Recurrent polychondritis is characterized by clinical polymorphism. The diagnosis of the disease requires the interdisciplinary medical participation of at least five specialists.
