[Cardiovascular manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus].
The authors assessed the damage of the cardiovascular apparatus in a group of 57 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Arterial hypertension was recorded in 19 patients (33%). The other most frequent defects were damage of the pericardium in 12 patients (21%) incl. 8 (14%) who had a pericardial exudate. Ischaemic heart disease was recorded in six patients. Serious forms of vasculitis were recorded in three patients and haemodynamically significant aortal insufficiency in two patients. Other forms of cardiovascular damage were rare.
