IgG4-Related disease with diffuse myopericardial involvement- value of CMR: a case report and literature review of cardiac involvement

Abstract Background IgG4-related disease is a fibro-inflammatory disorder with an unknown etiology, which can affect multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. While most reported cases of cardiovascular involvement are primarily associated with the aorta, there have been sporadic...

description Abstract Background IgG4-related disease is a fibro-inflammatory disorder with an unknown etiology, which can affect multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. While most reported cases of cardiovascular involvement are primarily associated with the aorta, there have been sporadic reports of isolated cardiac involvement. Case presentation This paper presents a documented case of IgG4-related systemic disease with symptoms indicative of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Subsequent Cardiac Magnetic Resonance imaging revealed diffuse myopericardial involvement, characterized by pericardial thickening and enhancement, accompanied by subepicardial and myocardial infiltration. Considering the rarity of cardiac involvement in our case, we conducted a thorough review of the existing literature pertaining to various patterns of cardiac involvement in IgG4-related disease, as well as the diagnostic modalities that can be employed for accurate identification and assessment. Conclusions This case report sheds light on the importance of recognizing and evaluating cardiac manifestations in IgG4-related systemic disease to facilitate timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
