Prevalence and early detection of myocarditis in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a prospective single-centre study
Myocarditis occurred in 27% of this cohort, with IIM/SSc overlap being the most common subgroup. Anti-Ku was the most prevalent autoantibody, indicating a potentially higher risk for these patients. All had elevated cardiac biomarkers and abnormal EKGs, suggesting these could be useful for screening and further tests like cardiac MRI.
