    Author: Dëmin AA, Sentiakova TN, Ostankovich OI, Semenova LA.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1993; 71(4):34-41. PubMed ID: 8246413.
    Abstract:
    Six patients under 50 with confirmed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed myocardial infarction at different intervals from the disease onset (1-21 years). Five of them had chronic disease, one suffered from acute SLE. The analysis of clinical findings identified myocardial infarction risk factors in SLE (chronic course of the disease, long-term glucocorticosteroid treatment, hypercholesterolemia, persistent nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, vasculitis, hypercoagulation, antiphospholipid antigens) and provided a basis for prevention of this severe SLE complication.
