Prevalence of left ventricular regional dysfunction differ in asymptomatic patients with systemic sclerosis compared to rheumatoid arthritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and purpose In patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), cardiac involvements are common, may have serious consequences. Sensitive diagnostic techniques in cardiac MRI can identify subclinical myocardial abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to assess regional dysfunction of left ventricule in asymptomatic patients with SSc, compared to RA, by using unique image tracking method by using cine MRI.

Objective. The aim of the study was to describe echocardiographic abnormalities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, concurrent systemic comorbidities, rheumatologic clinical activity, serologic markers of rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory activity. Methods. In an observational, cross-sectional study, rheumatoid arthritis outpatients were included (n = 105). Conventional transthoracic ec...
متن کاملAbnormal left ventricular geometry is prevalent in asymptomatic patients with established rheumatoid arthritis compared with those with early disease and healthy controls
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) compared to the general population. CMR studies in the general population demonstrate that increases in left ventricular (LV) mass and early LV structural changes are predictors of HF in asymptomatic patients. Previous studies have reported conflicting data on LV ge...

Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc) commonly involve the cardiovascular system, and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Mechanisms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) involvement in these clinical entities are not fully understood. Furthermore, little is known about myocardial structure and function in these inflammator...
متن کاملDetection of left ventricular regional dysfunction and myocardial abnormalities using complementary cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with systemic sclerosis without cardiac symptoms
Methods Consecutive patients with SSc without cardiac symptoms and healthy controls underwent CMR. Peak systolic regional circumferential and radial strain (Ecc and Err, %) were calculated using a feature tracking analysis on mid-left ventricular slices obtained with cine MRI in six segments. Furthermore, perfusion defect (PD) under pharmacological stress and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) w...
