INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHIES AND PULMONARY HYPERTENSION: RARE BUT SEVERE ASSOCIATION.
Anno:
2026
Autoimmunity plays a central role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), with autoantibodies identified in over 50% of patients. These target both nuclear and cytoplasmic cellular components and are classified as myositis–specific (MSAs) or myositis–associated autoantibodies (MAAs), often present in other connective tissue diseases (CTDs). While pulmonary…
