Abstract

Twenty nine male patients with ankylosing spondylitis of 5-35 years duration were investigated with echocardiogram and electrocardiogram. Although myocardial systolic function were normal, diastolic functions were disturbed. Aortic root abnormalities and sub aortic bumpings, two cases with aortic incompetence and mitral valve prolapse were documented. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were found as atrioventricular conduction disturbances. Echocardiography might be favorable diagnostic tool in rest or after exercises in ankylosing spondylitis for evaluation of cardiac involvement.
