The co-existence in a young child of long-standing Takayasu's arteritis, chronic myocarditis and a false aneurysm of the left ventricle raises the possibility that a common inflammatory process may have accounted for all three findings. The unique combination of pathology observed in this patient may provide further evidence that widens the spectrum of cardiac involvement associated with Takayasu's disease to include the myocardium.
一名幼儿同时患有长期的高安动脉炎、慢性心肌炎和左心室假性动脉瘤，这增加了一种可能性，即一种共同的炎症过程可能导致了所有这三种病症。在该患者身上观察到的独特病理组合可能提供进一步的证据，拓宽与高安病相关的心脏受累范围，将心肌包括在内。
