Resumo: Os autores apresentam um caso clínico de um homem de 68 anos com clínica de insuficiência cardíaca predominantemente direita, no contexto de estenose aórtica grave associada a hipertensão pulmonar. Concomitantemente, foi diagnosticada anemia que, após estudo endoscópico, se concluiu ser secundária a angiodisplasias intestinais, tendo sido feito o diagnóstico de síndrome de Heyde.Após cirurgia de substituição valvular houve resolução do quadro, com melhoria dos sintomas de insuficiência cardíaca prévia e estabilização dos valores de hemoglobina.Com este caso pretende‐se mostrar a necessidade do conhecimento de associações menos frequentes na estenose aórtica grave para uma atuação terapêutica imediata e adequada. Abstract: The authors present the case of a 68‐year‐old man with predominantly right heart failure in the context of severe aortic stenosis associated with pulmonary hypertension. Anemia was diagnosed which, after endoscopic study, was considered to be secondary to angiodysplasia and a diagnosis of Heyde syndrome was made.After valve replacement surgery the patient's heart failure improved and hemoglobin levels stabilized.We present this case to show the need to recognize less common associations of severe aortic stenosis, in order to provide immediate and appropriate treatment.
