Intern Med. 2022 Jan 1;61(1):59-63. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.7721-21. Epub 2021 Jul 3.

Abstract

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic autoimmune disorder known to affect multiple organs. However, IgG4-RD rarely affects the myocardium. We herein report a case of left ventricular dysfunction due to cardiac involvement of IgG4-RD.

Keywords: Ig-G4 related disease; heart failure; left ventricular dysfunction; periarteritis.
