2014, Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious DiseasesClinical cardiac involvement in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: A systematic review
2011, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Whether this reflects the muscle inflammation or is secondary to coronary or small vessel vasculitis is still controversial. Poor prognostic factors for IIM patients have been described as having an associated neoplasm, age over 45 and the presence of coexisting heart or lung involvement [5–7]. One study concluded that cardiovascular manifestations were the most common cause of death in IIM patients [8].
Polymyositis presenting with cardiac manifestations: Report of two cases and review of the literature
2010, Clinical Neurology and NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Our first patient had a typical clinical syndrome of congestive heart failure as part of his initial presentation, which has not, to our knowledge, been previously reported. Our second case in which coronary angiography was normal mimicked an acute myocardial infarction as the Askari and Huettner's case [3]. Although it is usually known that cardiac involvement is encountered with a high incidence in advanced cases of polymyositis, a few patients had an early predisposition for cardiac manifestations several years before any clinical or laboratory evidence of skeletal muscle damage.
Inflammatory Myopathies in Children
2007, Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Specific cardiac involvement has not been well described in JIIM and is probably rare. In adult series, which have included some JIIM, nonspecific murmurs and ECG abnormalities as well as pericarditis have been reported and seem to be the most common cardiac findings [60]. There have been reports of ECG myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and more widespread cardiac vasculopathy in adults and children with JIIM [61–63].
