Abstract
A twenty-five-year-old Caucasian man with Takayasu arteritis, who was formerly diagnosed as suffering from premature arteriosclerosis, is described. Necropsy disclosed involvement of the entire aorta and its major branches, the pulmonary arteries, the coronary arteries, the intramyocardial arteries, and the heart valves, a combination hitherto not described. Literature concerning heart involvement in Takayasu arteritis is reviewed, and the differential diagnosis is discussed.Keywords
