A member asked:
What test should i ask my primary for if i'm concerned about cardiovascular disease and lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: There is no specific testing needed unless you have symptoms that suggest cardiovascular involvement. The only tests i would recommend as routine that could predict vascular issues are for antiphospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulants.
