Abstract
Heyde syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by an association between gastrointestinal bleeding and aortic stenosis. High shear stress on stenotic valves leads to acquired coagulopathy due to proteolysis of von Willebrand factor and thus leads to bleeding from angiodysplasias of the digestive system.
