Abstract

Rheumatic diseases are generally examined in three different classes; joint diseases, autoimmune connective tissue diseases, and vasculitides. They progress with significant cardiac involvement in all three groups. Cardiac involvement may present in a spectrum ranging from asymptomatic, mild, or subclinical to serious disease with a risk of mortality and morbidity. Cardiac manifestations in rheumatic diseases are frequently encountered as pericardial, myocardial, and endocardial involvement, atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, or cardiac conduction system involvement that may cause arrhythmias
