Cardiovascular syphilis?

summary

Cardiovascular syphilis belongs to late syphilis, which refers to the entry of Treponema pallidum into the outer and middle layers of aorta, leading to arteritis, aortic aneurysm, coronary stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency, resulting in the corresponding clinical manifestations. Cardiovascular syphilis? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Cardiovascular syphilis?

Ascending aortic aneurysms often extend forward, right and upper. If it is enlarged forward, it may cause local uplift and pulsation between the first and second ribs on the right side of sternum; If dilated to the right, the superior vena cava, innominate vein, right lung and right bronchus can be compressed.

The compression of superior vena cava can cause swelling and cyanosis of face and upper limbs, and distention of chest wall vein. Right bronchus or right lung compression, often can cause shortness of breath and copper like cough, and repeated pulmonary infection. In a few cases, the common pulmonary artery may be compressed to produce symptoms and signs similar to pulmonary artery stenosis. If the tumor ruptured into the pulmonary artery, there may be a similar performance of ductus arteriosus.

Because ascending aortic aneurysm often grows very large and asymptomatic, it is also called "sign aortic aneurysm". A small number of patients may die suddenly due to the rupture of the tumor to the thoracic cavity, and rupture into the pericardial cavity, resulting in cardiac tamponade. Sometimes obvious chest pain is caused by the compression of nerves, ribs or sternum by aortic aneurysm.

matters needing attention

Put an end to improper sexual behavior and advocate self-cleaning. If in case of carelessness, with a history of suspicious syphilis contact, syphilis serum test should be done in time, so as to discover and treat in time. When you go out, you should pay attention to the disinfection of utensils, and you can carry "Fuyinjie" for cleaning.
