Libman-Sacks endocarditis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus with secondary antiphospholipid syndrome
Background: Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is characterized by sterile lesions that commonly affect the aortic and mitral heart valves. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been associated with LSE. Cardiac manifestations including LSE could be interrelated with other manifestations and early diagnosis could help in preventing further complications. Case...
متن کاملRetinal artery embolization complicating Libman-Sacks endocarditis in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient.
Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is the most characteristic cardiac manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is usually clinically silent but heart failure due to valvular dysfunction, secondary infective endocarditis and embolic phenomena can complicate valvular abnormalities. We present a patient with SLE and blindness due to right central retinal artery occlusion. Echocardiogra...
متن کاملLibman-Sacks endocarditis, antiphospholipid antibodies and arterial thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus: case report.
Case report of a 38-year-old female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who presented an acute arterial thromboembolic event in the right lower limb. Investigation showed the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies and sterile vegetation in the mitral valve, Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE). Possible causes of thromboembolic events in SLE are discussed, with emphasis on current recom...
متن کاملLibman-Sacks Endocarditis
In 1924 Libman and Sacks published an account of atypical, sterile, verrucous vegetations on the heart in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). [1] Clusters of verrucae, looking like mulberries, were described on the ventricular surface of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve and found at postmortem. The leaflet and the chordae tendinae are often adherent to the endocardium of the ventricula...
متن کاملLupus-Negative Libman-Sacks Endocarditis Complicated by Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Libman-Sacks endocarditis is characterized by sterile and verrucous lesions that predominantly affect the aortic and mitral valves. In most cases, patients do not have significant valvular dysfunction. However, patients with significant valvular dysfunction may present with serious complications such as cardiac failure, arrhythmias, and thromboembolic events. Recently, association of Libman-Sac...
