Here, we present a case of coronary artery giant cell arteritis in a 51-year-old woman who complained of atypical chest pain. Radionuclide angiography showed dilated left ventricle with global hypokinesia. Despite medical treatment, she suffered progressive heart failure and finally was given a heart transplant. The pathologic examination revealed myocardial infarction due to coronary giant cell arteritis. Unusual giant cell arteritis should be considered in the differential diagnoses of myocardial infarction. ? 2007 Elsevier. All rights reserved. |
