title: [Coronary involvement in Takayasu's arteritis].
abstract: Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects young women. Cardiac involvement is infrequent and it includes aortic regurgitation, pericarditis, angor pectoris or myocardial infarction due to coronary narrowing and cardiac heart failure due to coronary involvement and/or high blood pressure. A patient with Takayasu's aortitis and angina pectoris due to severe narrowing of the left coronary arterial ostia is described.
