Predictive Validity of Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring in Low Risk Systemic Lupus Erythematous Patients
Background/Purpose: Traditionally, a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero is associated with low rates (0.1-0.2% annualized risk) of major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACE). While…Abstract Number: 2227 • ACR Convergence 2024
Worrisome Mortality Trends over 20 Years Among Patients with Underlying Ischemic Heart Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory condition affecting…Abstract Number: 0675 • ACR Convergence 2024
Hydroxychloroquine Induced Cardiomyopathy: A Biopsy Proven Case Series
Background/Purpose: Cardiomyopathy is a rare, life-threatening adverse effect of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) use. There is a paucity in literature regarding treatment and prognosis in these cases. The aim…Abstract Number: 2429 • ACR Convergence 2024
Impact of Hydroxychloroquine Level on ECG QTC Interval in Patients with Rheumatic Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: A Real-life Study
Background/Purpose: The administration of hydroxychloroquine-sulphate (HCQ) can lead to the risk of QTc prolongation and cardiac arrhythmias. We evaluated the HCQ concentration and the incidence…Abstract Number: 0683 • ACR Convergence 2024
Prognostic Value of Systemic Sclerosis-associated Primary Heart Involvement
Background/Purpose: A definition of primary heart involvement (pHI) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) was recently developed (Bruni C et al. J Scleroderma Relat Disord. 2022;7:24-32). Cardiac…Abstract Number: 0689 • ACR Convergence 2024
Arrhythmic Burden, Myocardial Markers, and Long-term Survival in Distinct Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Subsets of Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Cardiac involvement in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is widely recognized as heterogeneous and, when clinically evident, it is associated with a poor prognosis. Recently, five…Abstract Number: 0705 • ACR Convergence 2024
Identification of Risk Factors for Incident Cardiomyopathy in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
