The following are the major diseases or complications that may be contributed to by eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS):
Respiratory System (J00-J99)
- Pulmonary syndrome – combination of renal and pulmonary vasculitis (inflammation of the (mostly) arterial blood vessels in the kidneys and lungs), including necrotizing extracapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the glomeruli (renal corpuscles) of the kidneys)
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99).
- Acute coronary syndrome (AKS; acute coronary syndrome, ACS) fall.
- Unstable angina (“chest tightness”; sudden onset of pain in the heart area) (UA; unstable angina) – unstable angina is said to occur when symptoms have increased in intensity or duration compared with previous angina attacks
- Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack):
- Non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI; NSTE-ACS).
- ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
- Cardiac arrhythmias (arrhythmias), unspecified.
- Thromboembolism (occlusion of a pulmonary artery by a blood clot).
Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)
