Topik: Accelerated Atherosclerosis; coronary disease Fulltext: 572.full.pdf (605.44KB) Isi artikel Atherosclerosis may represent a significant cause of death and morbidity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Coronary involvement is more premature in lupus patients. We present the case of a young woman diagnosed with SLE at the age of 20 years who had a myocardial infarction at age 29 years. We review the mechanisms of atherosclerosis, the interrelations between atherosclerosis and autoimmunity, and between atherosclerosis and SLE. We also review the risk factors, influence of disease and treatment and the guidelines for management of accelerated atherosclerosis in lupus patients.
