Can lupus or Sjögren's affect your heart?
Yes, both conditions can impact your heart, and many people experience heart-related complications. In fact, cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in people with lupus, affecting around half of those living with the condition.
Heart issues that can occur with lupus Show Full Answer
@A MyLupusTeam Member it seems heart conditions are running in your family. 🤔
Oh shoot, that doesn't sound good 😖 what does your cardiologist want to do next? Yes, I have tachycardia, bradycardia, hypotension, heart valves are only minimally insufficient thanks God and some other things going on. I would need to have all of my documents here. I found out by chance that I had at least 2 myocardial infarctions which they claim were brought on by blood vessel constriction plus other things. I'm just waiting for recovery from laryngopharyngitis, then I'll receive a Pacemaker, the procedure was supposed to be done last year but I came down with a pesky case which required antibiotics. Much Love to you 💜❤️💜❤️
Yes, Kathy, I have mild apical enlargement of my heart, which may be lupus-related cardiomyopathy, though my heart function is thankfully normal. I also have some arrhythmias/palpitations that are not dangerous. What issues are you having, if you're willing to share?
I feel like Lupus has affected every organ in my body: skin, brain, heart lungs. I’ve always had issues with my stomach so I can’t blame that on lupus!
