Key result
Truncated abstract provides no quantitative data on cardiac involvement in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Why the study?
Despite a high mortality rate, the clinical characteristics of cardiac involvement in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, presenting with or without cardiac-related symptoms, remain poorly characterized.
Cohort
No

Truncated abstract without quantitative results hinders assessment of cardiac involvement in IIM; leaves open need for detailed data.
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are characterized by inflammation of skeletal muscle and various organs, including the heart. 1 Although clinically apparent cardiac involvement in IIM is considered a rare phenomenon, there is a discrepancy in the prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic cardiac involvement.2 Despite its high mortality rate of up to 46%, 2 the characteristics of cardiac involvement in IIM, whether presenting with cardiac-related symptoms or not, remains poorly characterized.Therefore, the aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics of cardiac involvement with or without cardiac-related symptoms in IIM.We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with IIM at Keio University Hospital between 2002 and 2022.IIM, including polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), amyopathic DM (ADM), and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), were diagnosed based on Bohan and Peter's criteria, 3 the EULAR/ACR 2017 classification criteria for IIM, 4 Sontheimer's criteria, 5 and Koji Suzuki
