摘要
Pericarditis is a common complication in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, however, that causing congestive heart failure (CHF) is a rare initial manifestation of SLE. We treated a patient whose initial manifestation of SLE was pericardial effusion causing CHF, which improved following prednisolone therapy that led to a dramatic decrease in pericardial effusion and improvement in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction as shown in Doppler echocardiography findings. Further, the plasma brain natriuretic peptide level became normalized. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
