A population-based study of risk factors for heart failure in pediatric and adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus

摘要

Objectives: The increased relative risk of heart failure (HF) from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is greatest at younger ages, but the etiology remains unclear. We identified risk factors for HF in children and adults with SLE and evaluated associations between SLE manifestations and HF.
