Cardiac involvement in IM has been associated with worse outcomes, but evidence to support specific screening and management algorithms for cardiac comorbidities in IM is still limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For this observational study, 37 adult IM patients recruited from the rheumatology outpatient clinic at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Hospital between August 2023 and January 2025 completed a questionnaire on IM characteristics, management, clinical events, and cardiac disease. Self-reported data were verified and complemented using clinical records. The main study endpoints included the incidence of cardiomyopathy, documented cardiac arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction following the diagnosis of IM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median age at last follow-up was 60 years and 35.1% were male. The most common cardiac symptoms reported by study participants included dyspnoea (45.9%), congestion\/oedema (40.5%), palpitations (32.4%), and chest pain (18.9%). Arterial hypertension was diagnosed in 27% after IM had been established. Supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias were documented in 10.8% and 5.4%, respectively. Echocardiography was performed in all study participants, revealing left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in 35.1%. Severe structural heart disease and cardiac adverse events, including acute myocardial infarction, severe valvular disease, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, were documented only in isolated cases of IM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cardiac symptoms, risk factors, and structural abnormalities are prevalent in a substantial proportion of patients with IM. Routine cardiologic assessment, including echocardiography, may be advisable.
