[Cardiac lesion in systemic vasculites: manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment].
The article contains analysis of Russian and foreign literature on cardiac lesions in patients with system vasculites (SV). The frequency of cardiovascular involvement in various SV forms was evaluated. These forms include non-specific aortoarteritis, giant-cell arteritis, nodular polyarteritis, Kawasaki disease, Wegener's granulomatosis, eosinophilic vasculitiis, and granulomatosis. The authors consider the variants of coronary arterial, endocardial, myocardial, and pericardial involvement, as well as the role of arterial hypertension and the clinical features of different SV with cardiac lesions. Modern diagnostic techniques (echoCG, perfusion myocardial scintigraphy, multispiral computed tomography, and coronaroangiography) are covered.
