Cardiopulmonary manifestations of Henoch-Schönlein purpura

Cardiac involvement in Henoch‐Schönlein purpura

“…There have only been six previously reported instances where HSP involving cardiac vessels led to clinical abnormalities 5–9 . Two arrhythmias were noted: one patient’s first cardiac manifestation was a conduction abnormality (junctional bradycardia) similar to that seen in our case, whereas another developed electromechanical dissociation late in their clinical course.…”

Severe coronary artery disease in the setting of Henoch–Schoenlein purpura

“…Henoch-Schoenlein purpura is a relatively rare disease and is characterized by systemic vasculitis of the skin and other abdominal organs [1][2][3]. It has good prognosis, except if it is complicated by severe glomerular disease [1].…”

“…It has good prognosis, except if it is complicated by severe glomerular disease [1]. The correlation with acute myocardial infarction or multivessel disease has been rarely reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5]. Furthermore, atypical presentation of coronary thrombosis in the setting of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, has been reported in two rare cases by Dhawan and Tak [6] and ExHasper et al [7].…”

A case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura with cardiopulmonary involvement

“…Atrioventricular block, arrhythmias, autoimmune myocarditis and STEMI are some of the reported cardiac manifestations of HSP. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Pulmonary hemorrhage is also a rare complication of HSP. 9,10 To our knowledge, this is the first to report the involvement of both cardiac of pulmonary systems in HSP.…”
