Atrial 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 کاملAtrial conduction abnormalities in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
BACKGROUND Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders. Patients with psoriasis are at risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). The electromechanical delay (EMD) is the time interval from the onset of the P wave on surface electrocardiography (ECG) to the beginning of the A wave. Prolonged atrial EMD is an independent risk factor for the development of A...
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...

متن کاملProgressive systemic sclerosis.
The pulmonary manifestations of progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) are important determinants of a patient’s prognosis. Although the etiology and pathogenesis of PSS are unknown, it is recognized that this is a complex disease; it is likely that different genetic susceptibilities and environmental exposures lead to the disease in different individuals. Individuals with diffuse PSS tend to dev...
