Lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) have been associated with thrombosis, recurrent abortion, and thrombocytopenia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but their relationship with cardiac disease is less clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and echocardiographic abnormalities in patients with SLE.
