AI Article Synopsis
- Heyde syndrome links aortic stenosis with gastrointestinal bleeding caused by angiodysplasia, first identified in 1958.
- A case study discusses an 86-year-old woman who experienced gastrointestinal bleeding due to colonic angiodysplasia, linked to her severe aortic stenosis.
- The literature review indicates differing views on whether the conditions are directly related or coincidental, but larger studies lean towards supporting a causative relationship.
Article Abstract
The association between aortic stenosis and angiodysplastic gastrointestinal bleed is known as Heyde syndrome. It was first described in 1958 and has since received further medical attention. We present a case of an 86-year-old lady with a history of severe aortic stenosis that was admitted with gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to colonic angiodysplasia. A review of the literature showed mixed opinions with respect to the idea of causation versus coincidence; both theories are valid. However, studies that supported causation had a bigger study population and overall seem to be more plausible.
