Coronary artery disease in Behçet’s syndrome: a coronary computed tomography angiography study
BS does not appear to accelerate atherosclerosis, in contrast to other systemic rheumatic diseases. Instead, coronary involvement in BS is characterized by vasculitis-related lesions such as arteritis, aneurysms and total occlusions. Clinical phenotypes rather than traditional CV risk factors determine coronary involvement patterns. Distinct disease phenotypes appear to confer differential risks for coronary involvement.
