HLA-B27-Associated Cardiac Disease

An HLA-B27-associated cardiac syndrome is identified that consists of severe cardiac conduction system abnormalities and lone aortic regurgitation; the link between this syndrome and HLA -B27 is almost as strong as the links between ankylosing spondylitis and Hla-B 27.

Cardiac conduction system abnormalities in ankylosing spondylitis: a cross-sectional study

Cardiac conduction abnormalities are common in ankylosing spondyloarthropathies, but not associated with markers of disease activity or specific B27 subtypes, and might indirectly affect morbidity and mortality.
