Cardiovascular involvement in juvenile rheumatic diseases is the primary manifestation in paediatric vasculitis and a major organ manifestation in paediatric connective tissue diseases. Though coronary vasculitis is the prototypical manifestation of Kawasaki disease, it can also be seen in patients with polyarteritis nodosa. Pericarditis is the most common manifestation seen in juvenile rheumatic diseases like systemic onset JIA, and lupus. Cardiac tamponade, valvular insufficiency, aortic root dilatation and arrhythmias are seen rarely. Cardiac involvement is often recognized late in children. The development of cardiac disease in juvenile systemic sclerosis is associated with a poor outcome. In long term, childhood onset of rheumatic diseases predisposes to diastolic dysfunction and premature atherosclerosis during adulthood. Key Points • Pericarditis is the most common cardiac manifestation in SLE and can lead to tamponade. • Conduction defects are common in juvenile mixed connective tissue disease and systemic sclerosis. • Pulmonary hypertension is a significant contributor to mortality in juvenile systemic sclerosis. • In Kawasaki disease, early treatment can reduce risk of coronary artery aneurysms.
