ABSTRACT

La ateroesclerosis prematura y su consecuente enfermedad coronaria tienen un papel fundamental en los pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico, incluso en las mujeres premenopáusicas, siendo unas de las principales causas de mortalidad en el lupus de larga evolución. Presentamos el caso de una mujer premenopáusica de 42 años, fumadora, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, colecistectomía y lupus de 23 años de evolución, en tratamiento con AINE, esteroides y antipalúdicos. La paciente acude por dolor opresivo precordial con moderados esfuerzos. Ante la sospecha de cardiopatía isquémica se inicia estudio cardiológico y se realiza una SPECT de perfusión miocárdica que objetivó un defecto de perfusión intenso y extenso anteroapical, con muy ligera reperfusión en las imágenes de reposo, compatible con el diagnóstico de infarto agudo en la región apical e isquemia en el territorio de la arteria descendente anterior, confirmada por el cateterismo cardíaco(AU)


Premature atherosclerosis and its consequent heart disease play a crucial role in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, even in premenopausal women. It is one of the leading causes of death in long evolution lupus. We present the case of a 42-year-old premenopausal woman, smoker, with a history of hypertension, cholecystectomy and lupus for 23 years, treated with NSAID, steroids and antimalarial drugs. The patient consulted due to chest pain on moderate efforts. Due to the suspicion of ischemic heart disease, a cardiology study was initiated, performing a myocardial perfusion SPECT. This revealed an intense and extensive anterolateral perfusion defect, with very light reperfusion in rest images, consistent with the diagnosis of acute infarction in the apical region and ischemia in the territory of the left anterior descending artery, which was confirmed later by cardiac catheterization(AU)
