Cardiac Involvement in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis.
Journal of Rheumatology 2015 July
OBJECTIVE: To determine frequency and outcomes of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)-related cardiac disease in a North American GPA cohort.
METHODS: Analysis was done of all patients in the Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium Longitudinal Study of GPA. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with and without GPA-related cardiac involvement were compared.
RESULTS: Of 517 patients with GPA, 3.3% had cardiac involvement. No differences were observed between patients with or without cardiac involvement in terms of demographics, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity, or relapse rate.
CONCLUSION: Cardiac involvement in GPA is rare and heterogeneous. In this cohort, cardiac involvement was not associated with a higher rate of relapse or premature death.
