Heart disease is related to spondylitis in several ways:

- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Spondylitis increases the risk of CAD, which can lead to angina and heart attacks due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
- Aortitis: Inflammation of the aorta can cause high blood pressure and aortic valve regurgitation.
- Arrhythmias: Spondylitis can cause abnormal heart rhythms, including tachycardia and bradycardia.
- Cardiomyopathy: Inflammation of the heart muscle can lead to heart failure and cardiac arrest.
- Chronic Inflammation: Chronic inflammation from spondylitis can damage the heart and aortic valve.
- NSAIDs: Long-term use of NSAIDs for spondylitis can increase the risk of heart disease.

Regular heart checkups and a healthy lifestyle are recommended to manage these risks.
