| Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a variety of clinical features. Cardiac involvement is present in more than half of the patients with SLE. Fragmentation of QRS (fQRS) is presumed marker of cardiovascular risk and has not been previously evaluated in SLE. Methods A total of 56 women previously diagnosed with SLE were recruited. In addition, a control group consisting of 51 healthy people was formed. QRS complexes were also evaluated in terms of fragmentations. All patients with SLE and control subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels were also obtained.

CRP levels and age were significantly … |
