Management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
8.5 Cardiorespiratory
There is limited evidence on the management of cardiorespiratory
manifestations in SLE. A small retrospective cohort study on lupus
myocarditis showed no significant difference with the addition of CYC
to corticosteroids on intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of hospital
stay and median left ventricular ejection fraction. 87, level II-2
• The management of organ/system specific SLE is complex and a
multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach consisting of rheumatologist(s)
and other relevant specialists may be considered.
