Overview

CMR may detect multi-layer cardiac involvement in EGPA with steroid response; leaves open its role in routine diagnosis or monitoring.

Structured PICO

P
Population
A 35-year-old man with a 2-year history of asthma and sinusitis presenting with chest pain, fever, and severe hypereosinophilia, diagnosed with Churg-Strauss syndrome.
I
Intervention
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and oral corticosteroid therapy
O
Outcome
Identification of cardiac involvement and response to therapy at 6 months follow-upsurrogate

Cardiac magnetic resonance is a valuable imaging modality for identifying extensive three-layer cardiac involvement in Churg-Strauss syndrome and monitoring therapeutic response.
