Why did your Systemic Lupus Erythematosus lead to a heart attack?
People with systemic lupus erythematosus have double the risk of cardiovascular events. There are several reasons. Lupus is inflammatory. The inflammation affects the blood vessels ultimately reducing elasticity and increasing the likelihood of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Prednisone, used to treat lupus, also increases the change of atherosclerosis. Some lupus patients experience inflammation of the heart (pericarditis, endocarditis, myocarditis). The pain and fatigue that accompany lupus make those with the disease less likely to exercise thereby increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. The sedentary lifestyle and some of the medcations predispose the lupus patient to obesity, another risk factor in cardiovascular events. The stress and depression that accompany living with an unpredictable chronic condition increase the risk even more. Lupus patients may also have some of the clotting factors (anticardiolipin, lupus anticoagulant, antiphospholipid antibodies) that cause blood clots. Lupus may result anemia, or irregular sizes in red blood cells affecting the amount of oxygen that gets to the heart muscle.
