CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 44 year old man who presented with an ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis and aortic regurgitation of unusual mechanism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prompt referral for a complete rheumatologic workup in cases of unexplained hearing loss would allow for a timely diagnosis of a collagen vascular disease and facilitate early initiation of systemic therapy, possibly yielding better audiological results [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic workup for MPA reveals the presence of serum ANCA and absence of surface hepatitis B antigen or antibody. [slideshare.net]

Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are a series of leads placed on a person's chest that measure electrical activity associated with contraction of heart muscle.[83] The taking of an ECG is an important part in the workup of an AMI,[24] and ECGs are often not [en.wikipedia.org]

Long-term treatment and disease-related morbidity are major threats. The last decade has seen a collaborative international effort to determine effective treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The combination of vasculitis and cardiomyopathy is associated with a poor prognosis. Early treatment with immunosuppressants in conjunction with appropriate cardiac pharmacotherapy is considered important and has dramatically improved prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For example, a patient with purpura, nephritis, and abdominal pain caused by Henoch–Schönlein purpura usually has a good prognosis. .. [doi.org]
