Funded Activity Summary

People with lupus are at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. For women aged 30-44 the risk is as much as fifty times higher than in women without lupus. Only some of this risk is due to well known factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol. We are looking at other possible causes of heart attack and stroke in people with lupus - with blood tests and heart scans. We hope this will identify who is at risk and what can be done to prevent them from suffering a heart attack or stroke.
