Recent epidemiological studies have reported an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The most common cardiac involvement in RA is pericarditis, followed by myocarditis, coronary vasculitis, then aortitis. However, valvular heart disease has been rarely reported especially the aortic one. We report here a case of RA associated with a severe aortic insufficiency (AI) with a thickened aortic valve on the echocardiography and aortic regurgitation. All causes of AI other than RA were excluded before concluding to a complication of cardiac RA complication. In long-standing RA, echocardiography should be assessed if patient complain about dyspnea in order to not overlook the valvular lesions.

Recent epidemiological studies have reported that hypercoagulopathy is a well-documented symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in more severe cases requiring admission to the critical care unit. We report here the clinical and imaging features of three patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed acute thrombosis of the abdominal aorta, the superior mesenteric artery and cerebral arteries, respectively. The extensive manage of thrombo inflammation is necessary to enhance the outcome of this disease. It would be suitable to retain anticoagulant remedy after discharge, mainly in sufferers with severe disease and a poor prognosis.
