  • Title: Acute mitral regurgitation from ruptured chordae tendineae in systemic lupus erythematosus.
    Author: Murray FT, Fuleihan DS, Cornwall CS, Pinals RS.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1975 Dec; 2(4):454-9. PubMed ID: 1082031.
    Abstract:
    A patient with systemic lupus erythematosus developed acute mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae, requiring mitral valve replacement. Typical changes of Libman-Sacks endocarditis were observed in the excised mitral valve. Immunofluorescent studies revealed antinuclear antibody and deposits of immunoglobulins and complement within small vessels.
