Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic (long-term) disease in which arteries become inflamed. It is also known as Takayasu's aortitis, pulseless disease and aortic arch syndrome. The name comes from the doctor who first discovered the problem in 1905, Dr. Mikito Takayasu.
In most cases, Takayasu's arteritis targets the aorta and its major branches, including arteries to the brain, arms and kidneys. The aorta is the body's main artery, which pumps oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Less frequently, the pulmonary artery and coronary arteries also are involved. This problem causes damage to the body's major organs, reduced or absent pulses in the arms and legs, and symptoms of poor circulation, such as a cool or cold arm or leg, muscle pains with use or exertion, or symptoms of stroke if brain arteries are narrowed or blocked. The disease can be fatal.
Over time, Takayasu's arteritis can cause scarring, narrowing and abnormal ballooning of involved blood vessels.

Although the cause of Takayasu's arteritis is unknown, it may be an autoimmune disorder, meaning that immune defenses attack the body's own cells rather than protecting them from outside invaders.

In Asia, Takayasu's arteritis is a major cause of high blood pressure in teenagers and young adults. In North America and Europe, however, Takayasu's arteritis is a very rare illness that affects only two or three out of every 1 million people every year. It is eight times more common in females than in males. Although 75 percent of patients begin to have symptoms during their teenage years, the average age at which the problem is diagnosed is usually much later — at age 29. This is because early symptoms of Takayasu's arteritis are more general and common, such as fatigue. Up to 96 percent of patients are not diagnosed until they have later, more specific symptoms.

Because of changes in the aorta and its branches that feed the head, neck, and upper limb areas, patients may have decreased or absent radial pulses (pulse in the wrist) and pain in the arm and forearm. Inflammation in the carotid arteries (large arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain) may cause visual problems or neurological problems such as dizziness or stroke. Decreased blood flow to the kidneys often causes hypertension (high blood pressure). The formation of aneurysms may lead to rupture of the affected vessel.

Systemic complaints may include fever, rash, muscle aches (myalgia), and arthritis. Chest pain can develop due to inflammation of either the lining of the chest cavity (pleuritis) or the sac-like covering of the heart (pericarditis), or due to heart attack (myocardial infarction).
SYNONYMS
  • Takayasu syndrome
  • Pulseless disease
  • Reverse coarctation
  • Martorell syndrome
  • Brachiocephalic ischemia
  • Aortic arch syndrome
SYMPTOMS The symptoms of Takayasu's arteritis vary depending on the stage of the illness and the arteries affected. Early symptoms can include fever, fatigue, poor appetite, weight loss, night sweats, joint pain and chest pain. Later symptoms typically are related to narrowing of the arteries and a decrease in blood flow to certain organs. These later symptoms can include:
  • High blood pressure and kidney failure resulting from poor blood flow to the kidneys
  • Weak or absent pulses in the arms, neck or legs
  • A significant difference in blood pressure between the right and left arms
  • A significant difference in blood pressure between the arms and legs
  • Angina (chest pains, especially with exertion)
  • Shortness of breath and fatigue, resulting from congestive heart failure
  • Fainting, dizziness, changes in vision, transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes) or a stroke, resulting from poor blood flow to the brain
  • Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, resulting from poor blood flow to the abdomen
  • Muscle weakness and pain in the arms or legs when they are moved
