Although left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in patients suffering from Takayasu arteritis (TA) has been reported, little is known regarding the development of heart failure in these patients. We report a novel finding of active TA and familial hypercholesterolaemia presenting with severe LV dysfunction through multimodality assessments of LV systolic dysfunction.
虽然已有研究报道了患有 Takayasu 动脉炎(TA)的患者存在左心室(LV)收缩功能障碍,但对于这些患者发生心力衰竭的情况知之甚少。我们报告了一例新的活动性 TA 和家族性高胆固醇血症病例,通过 LV 收缩功能障碍的多模式评估发现存在严重的 LV 功能障碍。
