CMR-Lupus Comprehensive Approach by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Tomography

March 28, 2018 updated by: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

The Heart in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - a Comprehensive Approach by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Tomography

In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiac manifestations, e.g. coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocarditis are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of subclinical heart disease in SLE is unknown. We studied whether a comprehensive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) protocol may be useful for early diagnosis of heart disease in SLE patients without known CAD
