Abstract
Rheumatoid cardiac nodules are a rare finding in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. They infrequently become symptomatic but can present as valvular insufficiency. A 53-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis was found to have worsening aortic insufficiency. Echocardiography revealed nodular densities on the valve, consistent with rheumatoid nodules, causing significant regurgitation.
