Rapidly Progressive Cardiac Manifestation of Behcet's Disease Involving Conduction System and Aortic Valve

ABSTRACT

Cardiac conduction system impairment is a rare clinical manifestation of Behcet's disease. We report a patient who showed 1st degree atrioventricular block at first presentation, and showed aggravated finding of 3rd degree atrioventricular block on five months later. His cardiac manifestation finally developed to acute severe aortic regurgitation on six months later from his first cardiac manifestation. We observed this rapid progression during 6 months and successfully improved symptom and disease severity of the patient with treatment targeting Behcet's disease.
