✅El marco del GPSD podría ampliarse en el futuro para incluir la arteritis de Takayasu (TAK).

✅Evaluación de las imágenes vasculares en diferentes grupos geográficos.
✅Esta fusión puede mejorar la eficiencia diagnóstica y facilitar una diferenciación fenotípica más matizada, lo que respalda un enfoque más integrado y eficaz para el manejo y la investigación de la enfermedad.

Thanks to everyone for their support to recognise a neglected twin condition - the GCA PMR spectrum diseases (GPSD). Thanks to my patients who taught me much. Thanks to trainees and fellows who executed the work @PMRGCAuk @MSEssex_ICS
