Inflammatory bowel disease and cardiac function: a systematic review of literature with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Morphological and functional cardiac involvement is rarely described in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but there is evidence that they have an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events despite the lower prevalence of traditional CV risk factors.
