Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cardiovascular involvement has been investigated in the course of essential mixed cryoglobulinemia (EMC). A direct pathogenetic role of cryoglobulins, due to coexisting coronary risk factors, is difficult to demonstrate. Nevertheless, a clear role of cryoglobulins in determining heart damage was hypothesized. A significant statistical incidence (p less than 0.05) of heart impairment was found in patients affected by EMC compared with an age- and sex-matched control group. Cryoglobulinemic coronary vasculitis found at post-mortem examination further supports this point of view.
