    Thanks for your question regarding GCA. It brought with it a unanimous answer from three members of the vascular SIG. The points made where that there are no official guidelines for assessing for GCA in Australia and yes, the axillary artery should definitely be included as part of the study as GCA has been well documented in this vessel.

    Its more the Rheumatology space that investigates GCA - please find the attached paper from EULAR.

    Thanks
