Why the study?
Data regarding myocarditis and its treatment in systemic immune-mediated diseases are lacking, leading to late recognition and undertreatment, especially when an SLE diagnosis has not been previously established.
Acute perimyocarditis can be the first manifestation of SLE and can be successfully managed with combined heart failure and immunosuppressive therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May prompt earlier SLE screening in young women with unexplained myocarditis; leaves open evidence-based recognition and treatment strategies.
Matijašević et al. (2023) studied this question.
