Prevalence of ischemic complications in patients with giant cell arteritis presenting with apparently isolated polymyalgia rheumatica

摘要

Objective: To investigate the frequency and type of giant cell attends (GCA)-related ischemic complications in a series of patients with GCA who, for a substantial period of time (i.e., at least 3 mo), lacked vascular symptoms and presented with apparently isolated polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).
