Behcet syndrome

Does Behcet syndrome affect the heart?

is a chronic systemic vascular inflammatory disease that causes oral ulcers, genital ulcers, joint inflammation and other symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, as the disease progresses, it can affect multiple systems and organs. When it involves the cardiovascular system, it can cause a variety of complications, such as pericardial effusion, aneurysm, heart valve disease and myocardial infarction, which pose a certain threat to the life and health of patients. In addition to the heart, Behcet syndrome can also affect the digestive tract, brain, kidneys and other organs, if the disease is not well controlled, may lead to serious sequelae or death.
