RESUMO
Necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM) is a rare inflammatory myopathy primarily affecting skeletal muscles. Cardiac involvement has been reported in immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), but its extent remains poorly understood. We present a unique case of a 68-year-old male with anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) antibody-positive NAM initially presenting with elevated troponin levels. Our case demonstrates cardiac involvement as the presenting feature of NAM, which is a unique feature of inflammatory myopathy.
