Cardiac manifestations of IgG4-RD remain under-recognized and include coronary artery and pericardial disease. These manifestations often precede more typical manifestations in other organ systems.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent potentially fatal outcomes and irreversible fibrosis.
