Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Detects Myocardial Inflammation in Giant Cell Arteritis

We describe a patient with GCA and cardiac involvement, presented as myocardial inflammation with reduced biventricular ejection fraction and diagnosed using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). She was treated successfully with sacubitril/valsartan in parallel with anti-rheumatic medication and...

description We describe a patient with GCA and cardiac involvement, presented as myocardial inflammation with reduced biventricular ejection fraction and diagnosed using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). She was treated successfully with sacubitril/valsartan in parallel with anti-rheumatic medication and the post-treatment CMR showed improvement of biventricular function and disappearance of myocardial inflammation.
