Nursing Student Class Projects (Formerly MSN)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease implicated in the premature onset of cardiovascular disease. SLE`s chronic activation of the immune system leads to inflammation, obstruction and vascular damage. The damage is most pronounced in SLE patients with a sedentary lifestyle and early onset of the disease. Understanding the pathogenesis, signs and symptoms of how SLE affects the cardiovascular system is important. Nurse practitioners play a vital role in the implementation of strategies to manage care and improve outcomes.
