Background Syphilitic Cardiovascular Disease is a cardiovascular condition caused by the invasion of Treponema pallidum, the bacterium responsible for syphilis, into the human body. It encompasses a spectrum of cardiac disorders, including syphilitic aortitis, syphilitic aortic valve insufficiency, syphilitic aortic aneurysm, coronary artery stenosis, and myocardial gumma [1].
Method The research involved a comprehensive literature search in databases such as PubMed using keywords like "syphilis," "coronary heart disease," and "syphilitic coronary heart disease." Selected studies were reviewed to summarize the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and current diagnostic and treatment status of syphilitic coronary heart disease.
Result and Conclusion The research emphasizes the need to consider syphilis as a potential cause in coronary artery disease cases and highlights the clinical aspects and prognosis of syphilitic cardiovascular conditions.
