Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
An increase in mortality due to accelerated atherosclerosis has been reported in patients affected with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPA) may play a pathogenetic role in the development of atherosclerosis. We measured carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), as a su...
