Silent but significant: subclinical cardiovascular changes in paediatric Behçet's disease
The findings suggest early cardiovascular changes in paediatric BD, including diastolic dysfunction, increased pulmonary arterial pressure, and impaired aortic elasticity. These results highlight the need for routine cardiovascular screening, even without overt cardiac symptoms, to mitigate long-term cardiovascular risks. Further studies are needed to understand these abnormalities' progression and optimise interventions.
