Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause serious heart problems, including valve damage and heart failure. Prompt corticosteroid treatment can lead to significant recovery in patients with lupus-related cardiac issues.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) frequently involves cardiac manifestations.
  • Pericarditis is common (60%), while myocardial involvement is less frequent.
  • Valvular abnormalities are increasingly detected with advanced diagnostics, affecting up to 77% of SLE patients.

Observation:

  • A patient with SLE and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) presented with acute congestive heart failure.
  • Pancarditis was diagnosed, including endocarditis, left ventricular dysfunction, and pericardial effusion.
  • Hemodynamically significant mitral valve insufficiency resulted from endocarditis-induced mitral cusp thickening.

Findings:

  • Valvular lesions in SLE are linked to IgG anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and disease duration.

  • Echocardiography revealed normal findings just two weeks prior to the heart failure event.
  • High-dose corticosteroid therapy led to substantial recovery.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition and management of cardiac involvement in SLE are crucial.
    • Corticosteroids can be effective in treating severe cardiac manifestations of SLE.
    • This case highlights the potential for rapid progression of cardiac dysfunction in SLE patients.
