We describe a new case of myopericarditis heralding GCA.A 67-year-old man was admitted to the cardiology intensive care unit for acute precordial chest pain radiating in his jaw, associated with dyspnea. He recently experienced deterioration of his general health. His history included psoriasis and dyslipidemia treated with atorvastatin. No other cardiovascular risk factor was noted. Examination did not reveal any sign of cardiac insufficiency and was normal except for diffuse psoriasis lesions. Biological evaluations showed normal levels of cardiac troponin I but detected a high inflammatory process with fibrinogen at 8 g/l (normal &lt; 4), C-reactive protein at 285 mg/l (normal &lt; 10), and white blood cell count at 11.3 × 109/l. Electrocardiogram showed negative T waves in the lateral cardiac area. … Address correspondence to Dr. B.
