Shownotes Transcript

Giant Cell Arteritis is a chronic vasculitis affecting medium and large sized vessels. Always look for a patient over 50 with an elevated ESR.  This has never been documented in a patient under 50.  Let's go over the presentation, workup, and treatment.

Our goal at Medgeeks (previously known as PA Boards) is to help you live the life you want to live as you navigate a career in medicine.

This looks different to everyone, which is why we take such a personalized approach.
