Oesophageal changes in systemic sclerosis.
EDITORIAL COMMENT These studies provide evidence for the primary lesion in the oesophagus in cases of systemic sclerosis being in the smooth muscle fibres rather than in the neural plexus. The loss of oesophageal peristalsis could often be demonstrated by cine-radiography and manometry before symptoms appeared. By the same techniques it was shown that as the disease progresses the oesophageal w...
متن کاملIncreased sensitivity of the cough reflex in progressive systemic sclerosis patients with interstitial lung disease.
Cough is a common presenting symptom of interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aim of this study was to examine the cough reflex in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), with and without associated ILD. The cough reflex to inhalation of chloride deficient solutions and capsaicin was determined in patients with PSS with associated ILD (n=12), compared to patients with PSS without ILD...
متن کاملAtrial conduction abnormalities in patients with systemic progressive sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Atrial abnormalities in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis have not been evaluated in terms of intra-atrial conduction. We hypothesized that a delay in atrial conduction in these patients might produce diastolic abnormalities as well as atrial arrhythmias. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the atrial function of patients with progressive systemic sclerosis by using echocardiography t...
متن کاملPyrophosphate heart scan in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis.
Scintigraphic examination of the myocardium, using 99mTc-labelled pyrophosphate, was carried out in 17 patients suffering from systemic sclerosis. This connective tissue disorder very often affects the myocardium secondarily. The results of the cardiac scan were compared with the information obtained from the electrocardiogram of systolic time intervals. In addition, spirometry was undertaken t...
