Cardiac tamponade as an initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus
2012, Revue de Pneumologie Clinique
Bien que la péricardite soit l’atteinte cardiaque la plus fréquente au cours du lupus érythémateux systémique (LES), la tamponnade cardiaque reste très rare comme manifestation initiale de cette maladie. Nous rapportons le cas d’une patiente âgée de 27 ans, chez qui le diagnostic de LES a été découvert à l’occasion d’une tamponnade cardiaque.
Although pericarditis is the most frequent cardiac involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiac tamponade is very rare as an initial manifestation of this disease. We report the case of a 27-year-old patient in whom the diagnosis of SLE was discovered during cardiac tamponade.
