Echocardiographic characteristics and clinical features of cardiac involvement in Behçet's disease: a retrospective single-center case series

Background

Cardiac involvement in Behçet's disease (BD) is uncommon but potentially life-threatening and may mimic other cardiovascular disorders, complicating early diagnosis. This study aimed to characterize the clinical and echocardiographic features, treatment, pathological findings, and clinical outcomes of patients with cardiac BD, with particular emphasis on the utility of echocardiography in raising diagnostic suspicion.
