DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.928861
Abstract: Objectives Studies concerning myocardial involvement (MI) in patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis/clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM) are scarce. We aimed to characterize MI in our anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM cohort and to… read more here.
