Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare vasculitic disorder characterized by chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, and persistent eosinophilia. Although not a usual prominent initial presentation, cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CSS. We report a case of a 72-year-old white man who presented with chest pain and was subsequently diagnosed with CSS with biopsy-proven eosinophilic myopericarditis. We have also included a review of the literatures on cardiac involvement in CSS.
变应性肉芽肿性血管炎（CSS）是一种罕见的血管炎疾病，其特征为慢性鼻旁窦炎、哮喘和持续的嗜酸性粒细胞增多。尽管心脏受累并非 CSS 的常见突出初始表现，但它是导致 CSS 患者发病和死亡的主要原因。我们报告了一例 72 岁白人男性，他以胸痛为首发症状，随后经活检证实为嗜酸性粒细胞性心肌炎，被诊断为 CSS。我们还对 CSS 中心脏受累的文献进行了回顾。
