Investigating the profile of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in the post-COVID-19 period
This study systematically analyzed the clinical features, laboratory test results, and echocardiographic findings of patients with IIMs, comparing those with and without a history of COVID-19 infection. The analysis revealed significant alterations in the clinical manifestations of IIM patients after COVID-19, particularly in relation to cardiac involvement. Our findings highlight the crucial importance for clinicians to maintain vigilance concerning the potential long-term cardiovascular sequelae associated with IIMs in post-COVID-19 patients.
