Vasculopathy is a key feature of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), yet there remains both a limited understanding of the underlying biology as well as a lack of tools to objectively monitor vasculopathy. In this session, researchers will review new insights into endothelial dysfunction in JDM as well as promising tools for monitoring vessel health clinically.
