title: Cardiac disease in myasthenia gravis: a literature review.
abstract: Patients with myasthenia gravis might develop various cardiac disorders, yet a causal relationship remains unestablished. Because causes of sudden death in this population have not been ascertained, further attention to possible cardiac disease in this population is warranted. We summarize the current literature and describe the possible etiologies and implications of cardiac disease in myasthenics.
