- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare systemic vasculitis that classically affects the upper respiratory tract, lungs, and kidneys. The involvement of other organs occurs but is less frequent. Clinically overt cardiac involvement is rare. We present a rare case of thoracic pain caused by cardiac involvement in GPA, without any other symptoms. The diagnosis was made using an integral approach, with several complementary imaging modalities, including cardiac histology.
