Is it true that lupus can cause inflammation of the heart muscle, heart valves, or the lining of the heart?

Yes. Systemic lupus erythematosus is well documented to affect the cardiovascular system, frequently causing inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis), heart valves, and the pericardial lining.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently confirms that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can involve various cardiac structures, including the myocardium, valves, and pericardium. Multiple papers (e.g., [0], [1], [9]) explicitly detail manifestations such as lupus myocarditis, valvular abnormalities, and pericardial disease, fully supporting the claim.
