  • Title: Rheumatoid pancarditis in a patient with well controlled rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Sigal LH, Friedman HD.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1989 Mar; 16(3):368-73. PubMed ID: 2724254.
    Abstract:
    Significant rheumatoid cardiac disease usually occurs in the presence of active extraarticular disease, high titer rheumatoid factor, and systemic vasculitis. We report a patient who died of severe, widespread intracardiac rheumatoid disease, with none of these hallmarks present. The inflammatory infiltrate was centered on the collagenous skeleton of the heart; such a predilection has not been previously reported.
