Cardiovascular risk and cardiac involvement in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: insights from a cross-sectional Swedish single-centre study
Cardiovascular complications in patients with IIM may result from an increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as higher BMI, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidaemia, and/or from direct cardiac involvement, such as previous myocarditis. Cardiac involvement in IIM is notably associated with the IMNM subtype.
