“There is an urgent, unmet need for an imaging modality that can accurately and safely monitor disease activity longitudinally,” Pugh and colleagues wrote. The study was published August 25 inNature Communications. Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is the most common primar...
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common vasculitis in individuals older than 50 years in Western countries. In addition to the typical pattern of cranial ischemic manifestations, large vessel vasculitis (LVV) involvement has emerged as a common feature of GCA. Patients with predominant LVV...

Objectives We compared large vessel vasculitis (LVV) clinical features between age groups. Methods We retrospectively examined clinical features and therapies in 41 LVV patients at our hospital from January 2010 to March 2020. We compared two patient groups, elderly (≥50 years) and young (<50 ...
Vasculitis comprises a broad group of syndromes characterized by inflammation and necrosis on the walls of blood vessels, resulting in narrowing or occlusion of the lumen. The distribution of involved blood vessel varies considerably and serves as the basis for one classification of vasculitic syndromes...
