Cardiometabolic risk and subclinical vascular damage assessment in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a challenge for the clinician.

CONCLUSIONS: Abnormalities of the studied parameters suggest a higher risk of CV disease in IIM patients independent of disease activity. In this population, a thorough assessment of CV risk is recommended also in absence of overt CV disease during the clinical evaluation. PMID: 30943137 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
