| Sumario: | The prognosis of syphilitic aortitis and its various complications has changed, as has been the case with many other nosological entities, in recent years, particularly during the last two decades. Indeed, if the prognosis of syphilitic aortitis has improved, this is due to two reasons that also coincide with the greater benignity of many other clinical conditions: earlier diagnosis and earlier initiation of treatment. In fact, the two terms are confused, since there can be no early treatment if it is not previously facilitated and guided by early diagnosis. In this case, that of syphilitic aortitis, the question of timely diagnosis and treatment is even more important because it is a condition characterized by complications that are almost always unusually serious; preventing them requires a structured diagnosis before the organofunctional collapse of the cardiovascular system, caused by the complications. |
