Ankylosing spondylitis often involves a heart, such as aortic or mitral regurgitation, conduction disorder, or cardiomyopathy. We present a 34‐year‐old male patient with ankylosing spondylitis who has severe aortic regurgitation, mild mitral stenosis, and a conduction disturbance of the left bundle branch block, identified using multimodal images.
