Heart diastolic dysfunction in patients with systemic sclerosis
INTRODUCTION There are limited data on left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) diastolic function in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients especially in relation to biomarkers of matrix remodeling. The aim of the study was to analyze LV and RV myocardial diastolic function in SSc patients at baseline and after at least 1 year of follow-up and its relation to serum tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinas...
متن کاملDisturbed right ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis: a Doppler tissue imaging study.
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) carries a poor prognosis, mainly due to pulmonary hypertension and right-heart failure. To date, right ventricular (RV) involvement has not been studied in detail. We therefore assessed RV function in patients with SSc and related the findings to the clinical features of the disease. METHOD Twenty-six consecutive...
متن کاملAssessment of left and right ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by vascular changes and immunologically induced fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Systemic sclerosis may be associated with both right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. AIM To analyse RV and LV myocardial diastolic function in patients with SSc and its relation to exercise capacity. ...
متن کاملImpact of myocardial fibrosis on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis
Introduction: Patients with systemic sclerosis have a high prevalence of myocardial fibrosis, which has a potential negative impact on cardiac function. Diastolic dysfunction is a frequent echocardiographic finding in patients with scleroderma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible influence of myocardial fibrosis on the diastolic function of the left ventricle in patients with sys...
متن کاملInfluence of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function on Exercise-induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background: Exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (EIPH) can be caused not only by pulmonary vas‐ culopathy, but also by a significant increase in left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. This study evaluated the influence of LV diastolic function on EIPH in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: The study included 222 SSc patients (age 58.9 ± 13.1 years, 85% female) and 30 controls ...
