The Churg-Strauss syndrome is a systemic vasculitis, the manifestations of which are asthma, eosinophilia, pulmonary infiltrates, poly- and mononeuropathy, polyserositis. Along with nodular polyarteritis and nonspecific aortoarteritis, the Churg-Strauss syndrome belongs to a group of systemic vasculitis, in the clinical picture of which cardiac lesion is recognized as one of the leading visceral manifestations and may be a common cause of fatal outcomes. In the Churg-Strauss syndrome, cardiac pathology may be associated with the involvement of the endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. The paper describes a case showing the poor course of the disease in a young female patient in whom the heart is involved in a pathological process with the development of severe heart failure, resulting in death. There is a rare concomitance of diffuse myocardial damage, coronary lesion, and valvular pathology - eosinophilic endocarditis. The diagnosis has been verified on the basis of the data of clinical and additional studies and the results of microscopic studies. The data available in the Russian and foreign literature on cardiac pathology in patients with the Churg-Strauss syndrome are analyzed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D005260 Female Females
D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D015267 Churg-Strauss Syndrome Widespread necrotizing angiitis with granulomas. Pulmonary involvement is frequent. Asthma or other respiratory infection may precede evidence of vasculitis.
