Cardiac Complications in Beh çet's Disease

We have read the article “Characteristic Echocardiographic Manifestations of Behcet's Disease” by Pu et al. with great enthusiasm. In their retrospective study, they reported echocardiographic findings in patients with Behçet's disease (BD). Of the 63 patients enrolled in the study, aortic valve regurgitation (65.1%) was the most common pathology, followed by aortic dilation (20.6%) and mitral valve regurgitation (4.8%). On the basis of this study, we believe that several issues need to be discussed.
