Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. However, an echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac complications of polymyositis and dermatomyositis, which include left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, hyperdynamic heart, mitral valve prolapse, and endomyocardial fibrosis.
