aortitis

Aortitis can also be considered a large-vessel disease.

He is credited with providing a clear anatomical understanding of syphilitic aortitis.

The most common complication is syphilitic aortitis, which may result in aneurysm formation.

After he suffered from angina pectoris for several years, his death was attributed to aortitis.

A case of combined rheumatic heart disease, syphilitic aortitis, and silico-tuberculosis.

If the disease progresses, syphilitic aortitis leads to an aortic aneurysm.

It is reported that there are only 1-3 new cases of aortitis per year per million people in the United States and Europe.

However, it can involve other large vessels (such as the aorta in "giant-cell aortitis").

The final diagnosis was "typhic ulcerous aortitis and internal abdominal angina".

Unlike atherosclerosis, which clinically manifests in older people, syphilitic aortitis typically affects those under the age of 50.

Aortitis: Inflammation of the aorta.

Due to Syphilitic aortitis (a complication of tertiary syphilis) the aortic valve ring becomes dilated.

Syphilitic aortitis (SA) is a disease of the aorta associated with the tertiary stage of syphilis infection.

Less commonly, aortitis, aortic valve insufficiency, apical lung fibrosis and ectasia of the sacral nerve root sheaths may occur.

The most common symptom caused by cardiovascular syphilis is syphilitic aortitis, which can make the aorta - an important part of the heart - become dilated, or too big.

Repeated attacks over many years are common, and patients sometimes end up with chronic and disabling arthritis, heart disease, amyloid deposits, ankylosing spondylitis, immunoglobulin A nephropathy, cardiac conduction abnormalities, or aortitis with aortic regurgitation.

In 1899 Heller proved that syphilis was a cause of aortic aneurysm, and with his assistant Karl Gottfried Paul Döhle (1855-1928), he described syphilitic aortitis, a condition sometimes referred to as "Döhle-Heller syndrome".

A sometimes-used synonym of syphilitic aortitis is "Döhle-Heller aortitis", named after Döhle and Arnold Ludwig Gotthilf Heller (1840-1913), Döhle's mentor in Kiel.

Aortitis (inflammation of the aorta) with nephroptosis: "This orthostatic hypertension largely may be due to an activation of the renin system caused by nephroptosis and partly due to a reduced baroreflex sensitivity caused by aortitis"

About half of the cases of aortic insufficiency are due to the aortic root dilatation (annuloaortic ectasia), which is idiopathic in over 80% of cases, but otherwise may result from aging, syphilitic aortitis, osteogenesis imperfecta, aortic dissection, Behçet's disease, reactive arthritis and systemic hypertension.
