Cardiovascular events in patients with myositis: results from a French retrospective cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM) are systemic diseases, including dermatomyositis (DM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), immune-mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM), antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD) and overlap myositis (OM). Patients with IIM have an increased risk of premature death, largely due to cardiovascular events (CVE). The aim of this study was to describe specific and non-specific cardiac involvement in patients with IIM, and to assess the occurrence of CVE.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of patients with IIM from Saint Antoine University Hospital, Paris, between 1997 and 2020. Cardiac involvement was defined as abnormalities at baseline on ECG, Holter ECG, transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac MRI or elevated card
