We report the case of a 54 years old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome in irregular therapy, admitted due to exertional dyspnea and orthopnea. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed dilated cardiomyopathy with biventricular systolic dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension and masses related to the pulmonary and tricuspid valve without autonomic movement. The crops and white count were normal, with alteration of the SAF test, in addition, SLE was diagnosed. It was started therapy for heart failure, steroids, rituximab and anticoagulation, with improving of the symptoms. The echocardiographic control showed remission of the tricuspid masses and similar dimensions of the pulmonary mass.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis, one of the most prevalent cardiac presentations of systemic lupus erythematosus, typically affects the aortic or mitral valve; tricuspid valve involvement is highly unusual. Secondary antiphospholipid syndrome increases the frequency and severity of cardiac valvular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome whose massive tricuspid regurgitation was caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis isolated to the tricuspid valve. In addition, we discuss this rare case in the context of the relevant medical literature.

AbstractThis brief report describes a case of flail anterior tricuspid valve leaflet in a neonate associated with maternal antiphospholipid syndrome. Fetal echocardiography at 27 weeks of gestation showed competent atrioventricular valves with biventricular echogenic chordae. Fetal distress was noted at delivery, and echocardiography showed a flail anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve with severe regurgitation. Possible causation and implications of maternal antiphospholipid syndrome are discussed.
