The Inflammatory Signature on the Heart: CMR as a Window into Rheumatic Myocarditis
A new study leverages cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to characterize myocardial involvement in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases, revealing that subclinical inflammation—detected by elevated T2 and T1 mapping values—is far more prevalent than standard clinical assessment suggests. Among a cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis and Sjögren syndrome, nearly one-third showed evidence of active myocardial inflammation on CMR despite normal left ventricular ejection fraction and absence of classical symptoms.
