Abstract:
Ankylosing spondylitis is chronic, progressive, inflammatory disease involving the spine, peripheral joints, and periarticular structures. Cardiac abnormalities associated with ankylosing spondylitis are well recognized, but a case with DDD pacemaker implantation for complete atrioventricular block and aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation has not been previously reported. We report a case of a 66-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis who was successfully treated by DDD pacemaker implantation for complete atrioventricular block and aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation.
