Hi,
Heart disease is now among the leading causes of death for people with lupus. People with lupus have a higher risk of developing complications affecting the heart, usually from inflammation of the tissue and lining of the heart. Heart attacks and strokes also occur more frequently in people with lupus patients than in the general population.
Thank you for your question.
