Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease with an increased atherosclerotic risk compared to healthy population, partially explained by traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. Recent data suggest B-cell activating factor (BAFF) as an important contributor in the pathogenesis of both SLE and atherosclerosis. The aim of the current study is to explore whether...
