AB The  heart  may  be  involved  in  a  number  of  systemic  syndromes.  Many  of  these  have  been  mentioned  briefly  in  other  sections  of  this  chapter,  particularly  those  that  can  result  in  pulmonary  hypertension  or  large  vessel  vasculitis.  The  pericardium,  myocardium,  heart  valves,  and  coronary  arteries  may  be  involved  either  singly  or  in  various  combinations.  In  most  cases  the  cardiac  manifestations  are  not  the  dominant  feature,  but  in  some  it  is  the  primary  cause  of  symptoms  and  may  be  fatal.
