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.
