GONZALEZ, María Eugenia et al. Miocarditis lúpica. Reporte de un caso. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.1, e706.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 0797-0048.  https://doi.org/10.29277/cardio.37.1.18.

Myocarditis refers to an inflammation of the myocardium, which can have various causes (infections, toxic substances, autoimmune diseases). Its diagnosis is challenging due to the wide spectrum of clinical presentations, often mimicking more prevalent pathologies such as acute myocardial infarction. Myocarditis associated with autoimmune diseases is rare, and the importance of recognizing is that early diagnosis and initiation of treatment are crucial to improve its prognosis. We present here a clinical case of lupus perimyocarditis.

Keywords : systemic lupus erythematosus; myocarditis; perimyocarditis; autoimmune myocarditis; lupus myocarditis.
