case_images: Echocardiography revealed diffuse wall hyper-echogenicity and ectasia of the coronary vessels, particularly of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery (2.6 mm, z score 3) [Figure 1(a)]. At 4 weeks after starting therapy, a normal diameter of coronary arteries with a minimal residual ectasia of the LAD (2.2 mm, z score 2.3) in absence of wall hyper-echogenicity allowed ANA suspension [Figure 1(b)].
