Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired autoimmune thrombophilia diagnosed based on the presence of a single clinical sign (thrombosis or and obstetric problem) and one serological criterion (anticardiolipin antibodies and/or lupoid anticoagulant and/or antibodies against b2-glycoprotein-1. Clinical feature of the syndrome are diverse and depend on localization and diameter of the affected Bessel. This review focuses on cardiovascular aspects of APS. Cradiovascular system disorders are arbitrarily divided into valvular pathology, coronary and myocardial lesions. The relationship between antiphospholoipid antibodies and atherosclerosis is discussed.

D016736 Antiphospholipid Syndrome The presence of antibodies directed against phospholipids (ANTIBODIES, ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID). The condition is associated with a variety of diseases, notably systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue diseases, thrombopenia, and arterial or venous thromboses. In pregnancy it can cause abortion. Of the phospholipids, the cardiolipins show markedly elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies (ANTIBODIES, ANTICARDIOLIPIN). Present also are high levels of lupus anticoagulant (LUPUS COAGULATION INHIBITOR).

D017152 Antibodies, Antiphospholipid Autoantibodies directed against phospholipids. These antibodies are characteristically found in patients with certain autoimmune diseases (e.g., SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS and ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME), some non-autoimmune diseases, and also in healthy individuals.
