Integrating carotid Doppler, greyscale US, and aortic oscillometry to evaluate macroangiopathy in myositides: the MYOCARD cohort
In one of the largest CV surrogate marker studies in IIM, patients exhibited increased carotid pulsatility, resistance, and atherosclerosis compared with controls. Lower lung function parameters predicted aortic stiffness and Doppler indices, suggesting a possible link between lung involvement and increased CV risk. Angiopathy markers may reveal significant vascular abnormalities in IIM patients, enhancing CV screening and risk classification.
