Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: myocardial thickening reversed by corticosteroids
BACKGROUND In 1951 Churg and Strauss first described the clinical condition now known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), characterized by asthma, nasal polyposis, rhinosinusitis, hypereosinophilia with organ infiltration, and necrotizing vasculitis. It is classified as an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis, but ANCA negativity is common and mo...
متن کاملComparison of Ventricular Inducibility with Late Gadolinium Enhancement and Myocardial Inflammation in Endomyocardial Biopsy in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Risk stratification of patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy remains a matter of debate in the era of device implantation. OBJECTIVE We investigated associations between histopathological findings, contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI and the inducibility of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation (VF) in programmed ventricular stimulation. METHODS 56 patients with impa...
متن کاملEosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Manifested by Cholecystitis and Mononeuritis Multiplex: A Case Report
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis formerly named “Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS)” is a systemic disease with bronchial asthma, hypereosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis. We report a case of CSS with cholecystitis and mononeuritis multiplex. A 50-year-old woman with a history of sinusitis and bronchial asthma of 8 years’ duration was referred with a complaint of left-hand deformity an...

La granulomatosis eosinofílica con poliangitis es una enfermead autoinmune que afecta a los pequeños vasos, su causa es esconocida y el retraso en su diagnóstico determina un peor ronóstico. Los pacientes pueden presentarse con algún grado de nsuficiencia respiratoria debida a asma, neumonía, hemorragia lveolar, tromboembolismo, así como problemas cardiovasculares neuromusculares1. Solo ocasion...
متن کاملDilated cardiomyopathy: diagnostic accuracy of endomyocardial biopsy.
A histopathological index of contractility failure, which was reported to be accurate for the diagnosis of idiopathic dilated or congestive cardiomyopathy in Japan, was used to assess endomyocardial biopsy specimens from 41 Dutch patients with suspected dilated cardiomyopathy. The calculated index had a sensitivity of 62.5% and a specificity of 68% for idiopathic dilated or congestive cardiomyo...
