Three cases of cardiac valvular disease complicating chronic inflammatory disorders of connective tissue are described. Each underwent surgical valve replacement. The outcome in the first case, a patient with aortitis complicating Reiter's syndrome and in good health otherwise, has been excellent. The other two patients, one with rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis, the other with systemic lupus erythematosus and nephritis, died after operation as the result of their systemic disease. The importance of systemic features in assessing this type of patient is emphasized.

本文描述了3例合并结缔组织慢性炎症性疾病的心脏瓣膜病病例。每例均接受了外科瓣膜置换术。第一例患者患有并发赖特综合征的主动脉炎，除此之外身体健康，手术结果非常好。另外两名患者，一名患有类风湿关节炎和血管炎，另一名患有系统性红斑狼疮和肾炎，术后因全身疾病死亡。强调了全身特征在评估这类患者中的重要性。
