Core Tip
Core Tip: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare disease. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of non-atherosclerotic coronary stenosis when finding non-diffuse coronary artery disease. Herein, we report a 69-year-old man who was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and who subsequently experienced unexplained heart failure and cardiogenic shock. The patient was eventually diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and these heart manifestations were one of the multiple organ dysfunction. After treatment with methylprednisolone combined with intravenous human immunoglobulin, the patient’s condition improved and he was discharged. Follow-up showed that heart failure recurred at 7 d after discharge.
