Cardiac involvement is a recognized complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which can involve most cardiac components, including pericardium, conduction system, myocardium, heart valves, and coronaries. Libman-Sacks (verrucous) endocarditis is the characteristic cardiac valvular manifestation. We report a patient with SLE who had severe aortic regurgitation caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis. The patient underwent successful mechanical aortic valve replacement.
心脏受累是系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）公认的并发症，可累及大多数心脏结构，包括心包、传导系统、心肌、心脏瓣膜和冠状动脉。Libman-Sacks（疣状）心内膜炎是其特征性的心脏瓣膜表现。我们报告一例患有由Libman-Sacks心内膜炎导致严重主动脉瓣反流的SLE患者。该患者成功接受了机械主动脉瓣置换术。
