There is no such entity as "cardiac failure giant cell vasculitis", but cardiac (heart) failure can result from a condition known as giant cell vasculitis. The other name for this condition is temporal arteritis and it is one member of a large class of diseases called vasculitides (that's vasculitisplural). The vasculitides are a number of conditions featuring inflammation of the small, medium, and large blood vessels. Giant cell arteritis is one of the vasculitides that affects the large vessels. It classically involves the temporal arteries near the forehead (hence its name), but can also involve the coronary arteries and aorta, leading to heart failure.

What is the difference between the liver cell and cardiac cell?
Cardiac cells are for your cardiovascular system th liver cell is for your immune system
What muscle tissue has a figure 8 packaging of the cell?
cardiac
Do cardiac enzymes remove dead tissue as a result of an infarction?
No, cardiac enzymes, such as CK, CKMB and troponin are proteins that help a cardiac cell function. When the cell is damaged, such as by a myocardial infarction, the cells die, and these proteins are liberated from the cell into the bloodstream where we can detect them and determine there has been cardiac cell death.
What is the name of the heart cell?
