Echocardiography. 2020 Jun;37(6):979-981. doi: 10.1111/echo.14746. Epub 2020 May 29.

Abstract

Involvement of the coronary arteries by immunoglobulin G4-related disease is rare. It can cause coronary artery aneurysm and arterial wall thickening. Imaging plays a key role in the assessment of the coronary arteries and multimodality approach imaging is helpful to make the diagnosis and provide functional and prognostic information.

Keywords: IgG4; aneurysm; coronary artery; imaging; multimodality; vasculitis.
