Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) constitute several disorders that are characterized by the presence of recurrent episodes of unprovoked inflammation due to dysregulated innate immune system in the absence of autoantibodies or infections. Most of them have a strong genetic background, with mutations in single genes involved in inflammation referred to monogenic AIDs. In this article, we will review the cardiac manifestations in various monogenic AIDs.
AREAS COVERED
Various cardiac manifestations can be seen in various monogenic AIDs, including pericarditis, valvular diseases, coronary diseases, cardiomyopathies, and pulmonary hypertension, especially in Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
EXPERT COMMENTARY
Monogenic AIDs can manifest a variety of cardiac lesions, the most common of which is pericardial effusion, which may be local pericardial inflammation secondary to systemic inflammatory responses. While, the pathogenesis and incidence are still unclear. More research is still needed to explore the relationship between monogenic AIDs and cardiac damage for better understanding these diseases.
