  • Title: Relapsing congestive cardiomyopathy in Wegener's granulomatosis.
    Author: Delevaux I, Hoen B, Selton-Suty C, Canton P.
    Journal: Mayo Clin Proc; 1997 Sep; 72(9):848-50. PubMed ID: 9294532.
    Abstract:
    Congestive cardiomyopathy is a highly unusual complication of Wegener's granulomatosis. In this report, we describe a 37-year-old man with histologically proven Wegener's granulomatosis who had two episodes of severe hypokinetic cardiomyopathy that responded well to cyclophosphamide. The theory that cardiomyopathy might be related to cardiac involvement in Wegener's granulomatosis and the beneficial effect of cyclophosphamide in this condition are discussed.
