Protocolo de evaluación de la afectación cardíaca en las enfermedades autoinmunes y autoinflamatorias

Abstract

Cardiac involvement in systemic autoimmune diseases (SADs) and autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) is underdiagnosed and can occur at different levels. This protocol provides a generic diagnostic approach to pericardial, myocardial, and endocardial involvement in SADs and AIDs, with the aim of improving their identification and promoting early diagnosis. Echocardiography, and especially cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, are useful in the diagnosis.
