Article Synopsis
- The EULAR updated its recommendations for imaging techniques in diagnosing and monitoring primary large vessel vasculitis (LVV), incorporating recent research and expert consensus.
- A systematic review highlighted ultrasound as the primary imaging method for suspected giant cell arteritis, while MRI is favored for Takayasu arteritis, with other modalities like FDG-PET and CT as alternatives.
- Although routine follow-up imaging is not mandated, specific imaging techniques can be used to evaluate relapses or long-term structural damage when standard inflammation markers are unreliable.
Objectives: Knowledge and health literacy enable patients to monitor symptoms and disease impact. Educational needs have previously been explored in rheumatology, but scarcely for patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The aim of the study was to assess the educational needs among patients with AAV using the educational needs assessment tool (ENAT).
