Lupus flare may trigger hidden heart swelling, MRI study hints
Knowledge-focused
Ongoing
This study looks at whether lupus flares cause swelling in the heart muscle. Researchers will use cardiac MRI to scan 40 lupus patients during a flare and again three months later. The goal is to better understand heart inflammation in lupus, not to test a new treatment.
