The added value of cardiac MRI in paediatric rheumatologic disorders: a preliminary single-centre experience

Cardiac MRI confirmed ventricular dysfunction identified by echocardiography and additionally detected myocardial oedema and fibrosis in some paediatric patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disease. These findings were followed by changes in immunotherapy in 3 of 11 patients, supporting the added diagnostic and clinical value of cardiac MRI in managing paediatric patients with rheumatologic disorders.

Abstract

Cardiac MRI confirmed ventricular dysfunction identified by echocardiography and additionally detected myocardial oedema and fibrosis in some paediatric patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disease. These findings were followed by changes in immunotherapy in 3 of 11 patients, supporting the added diagnostic and clinical value of cardiac MRI in managing paediatric patients with rheumatologic disorders.
