Cardiopulmonary manifestations of systemic lupus erythematous.
The cardiac and pulmonary manifestations of SLE are numerous. While the pleura and pericardium are most commonly affected, the myocardium and lung parenchyma can be the targets of life-threatening complications. Secondary processes (in particular, infection) must always be ruled out before attributing a cardiopulmonary manifestation to lupus.
