Methods 80 cases without sign and syndrome of cardiac involvements were analyzed retrospectively in our hospital between January 2004 and April 2009.Results In 80 cases without sign and syndrome of cardiac involvements, 46 cases had ECG changes,with the positive rate being 57.5% . In the next echocardiography examination, 39 cases had heart struction or function change,with the positive rate being 48.8% .
