Libman-Sacks endocarditis, one of the most prevalent cardiac presentations of systemic lupus erythematosus, typically affects the aortic or mitral valve; tricuspid valve involvement is highly unusual. Secondary antiphospholipid syndrome increases the frequency and severity of cardiac valvular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome whose massive tricuspid regurgitation was caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis isolated to the tricuspid valve. In addition, we discuss this rare case in the context of the relevant medical literature.
利布曼-萨克斯心内膜炎是系统性红斑狼疮最常见的心脏表现之一,通常累及主动脉瓣或二尖瓣;累及三尖瓣极为罕见。继发性抗磷脂综合征会增加系统性红斑狼疮中心脏瓣膜病的发生频率和严重程度。我们报告一例患有狼疮和抗磷脂综合征的47岁女性病例,其严重的三尖瓣反流由孤立于三尖瓣的利布曼-萨克斯心内膜炎所致。此外,我们结合相关医学文献对这一罕见病例进行讨论。
