超声心动图对系统性红斑狼疮心脏并发症的评估

Assessment of cardiovascular complications in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus by echocardiography

系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是一种累及全身多系统、多器官的复杂自身免疫性弥漫性结缔组织病,心血管并发症已成为其主要的死亡原因之一。SLE合并心血管并发症的诊断及评估多依赖于影像学检查。超声心动图无创、简便、可靠,是心脏结构和功能评估的有效手段。本文对超声心动图在SLE患者心脏病变评估中的应用做一综述。

Systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE） is a kind of complex autoimmune connective tissue disease involving multi-organ and multiple systems. And the cardiovascular complication is a major cause of mortality in SLE patients. The diagnosis and evaluation depend on imaging. As a non-invasive, simplicity and repeatability method, echocardiography plays a vital role in evaluating heart structure and function. The application of echocardiography in the SLE with cardiovascular complications were reviewed in this article.
