A patient presented with typical features of ankylosing spondylitis, as well as some of the biochemical abnormalities expected in this disease. In addition the patient had symptoms and signs of biventricular heart failure (dilated cardiomyopathy) with conduction defect. No valve lesions were demonstrated. A non-reducible head tilt, seldom described in ankylosing spondylitis, was also present. A short review of the possible mechanisms in the development of dilated cardiomyopathy in ankylosing spondylitis is given.

A 58 years old male with a long-standing history of HLA-B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis presented with increasing fatigue and dyspnea on exertion. He had left ventricular dysfunction and enlargement, flail right coronary leaflet of aortic valve with severe eccentric aortic insufficiency along with left ventricular non-compaction in echocardiography. The most common cardiac manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis are aortic insufficiency and conduction disturbances. Involvement of myocardium, in the form of dilated cardiomyopathy and restrictive cardiomyopathy, has also been reported. This case presents a very rare association of ankylosing spondylitis with non-compaction cardiomyopathy.
