Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are
related conditions occurring almost exclusively in older people.
Polymyalgia rheumatica is considered to be the rheumatic disease
that is subject to the widest variations of clinical practice,
partially due to the considerable uncertainty related to diagnosis
and outcomes. Giant cell arteritis, an inflammatory form of
vasculitis, may present with a broad spectrum of clinical
manifestations and can be complicated by acute ischemic events, the
most serious of which is permanent blindness. Early recognition and
adequate treatment of the condition is thus necessary to prevent
patients' loss of independence and to maintain their quality of
life. Part of the Oxford Rheumatology Library series, Polymyalgia
Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis provides quick and practically
relevant information on several aspects of the diseases,
particularly on diagnosis and management, with the ultimate aim of
improving the patient's care. Chapters highlight current concepts
of pathogenesis, recent advances of diagnostic and therapeutic
approaches, and the ongoing research into the identification of new
biomarkers and corticosteroid-sparing medications. Each chapter is
complemented with key message boxes highlighting the most relevant
information for clinical practice. This concise but comprehensive
reference is particularly suited for rheumatologists, general
practitioners, and other professionals caring for patients with PMR
and GCA.
