A case of Churg-Strauss syndrome with heart and coronary artery involvement confirmed by coronary angiography and endomyocardial biopsy / 천식및알레르기

ABSTRACT

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare systemic disease characterized by vasculitis and peripheral eosinophilia in patients with an atopic constitution. Cardiac involvement is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CSS but coronary artery involvement is very rarely documented. We report a case of a 27-years-old female with CSS who had coronary vasculitis. Coronary angiography and endomyocardial biopsy demonstrated coronary vasculitis and cardiac involvement.
