  • Title: Silent myocardial infarction in Wegener's granulomatosis.
    Author: Lawson TM, Williams BD.
    Journal: Br J Rheumatol; 1996 Feb; 35(2):188-91. PubMed ID: 8612034.
    Abstract:
    Histological cardiac abnormalities in Wegener's granulomatosis can frequently be demonstrated at post-mortem examination, but clinically significant cardiac involvement is rare. We describe a massive silent myocardial infarction leading to intractable heart failure and death in a young man with Wegener's granulomatosis, occurring at a time when other features of the disease were responding to aggressive immunosuppression.
