Abstract
Cardiac involvement is common in primary systemic vasculitides and may be due to direct effect of the disease on the heart or due to therapy.

Among anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis most commonly involves the heart. Involvement of the heart confers poorer prognosis in AAV,...
