ZANAZZI, Diego D.. Antiphospholipid syndrome and cardiovascular affectation. Insuf. card. [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.2, pp.66-76. ISSN 1852-3862.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is defined as the presence of recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis, repeated pregnancy loss and thrombocytopenia in the presence of antibodies to cardiolipin or lupus anticoagulant. This review was performed in order to determine whether this syndrome should now be considered a cardiovascular risk factor. It occurs in young women, therefore, to be diagnosed forces us to make a thorough control and should have a multidisciplinary approach. Among the cardiovascular manifestations the patient may develop acute myocardial infarction, pseudo-infectious endocarditis, valve disease and pulmonary hypertension.
