Although it has been reported that the aortic regurgitation (AR) of patients with Takayasu arteritis is due to dilatation of the aortic ring, the geometry of the left ventricle (LV) has not been described. We compared the cardiac findings in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA) and severe AR with those of patients having severe AR of other origins. Echocardiographically, wall thickness (WT) and the concentric hypertrophic ratio (WT/WT + left ventricular end-diastolic dimension) were greater in patients with TA. It is concluded that the LV of the TA patients revealed concentric hypertrophy even when AR was severe.
虽然已有报道称，大动脉炎患者的主动脉反流（AR）是由于主动脉环扩张所致，但左心室（LV）的几何形态尚未见描述。我们比较了大动脉炎（TA）合并严重AR患者与其他病因所致严重AR患者的心脏检查结果。超声心动图显示，TA患者的室壁厚度（WT）和向心性肥厚率（WT / WT + 左心室舒张末期内径）更大。得出的结论是，即使AR严重，TA患者的左心室仍表现为向心性肥厚。
