    Abstract:
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease affecting multiple organ systems. Although myocardial involvement and overt myocarditis is rare, life-threatening myocarditis associated with SLE can happen. We report a case of myocarditis associated with SLE with subsequent improvement of cardiac function after immunosuppressive therapy.
