    Summary

    Cardiovascular complications are common in progressive systemic sclerosis, affecting 80% of patients. Non-invasive methods revealed frequent cardiac issues, including rare bifascicular blocks.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Rheumatology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is a multisystem autoimmune disease.
    • Cardiac involvement is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in PSS.
    • Non-invasive cardiological assessment is crucial for early detection and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the prevalence and spectrum of cardiovascular complications in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis.
    • To assess the utility of non-invasive cardiological methods in detecting cardiac abnormalities in PSS.

    Main Methods:

    • A study of 20 consecutive patients with progressive systemic sclerosis.
    • Utilized non-invasive cardiological methods including electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac X-ray series, and echocardiogram.
    • Assessed clinical symptoms, cardiac examination findings, and arterial hypertension.

    Main Results:

    • 80% of patients exhibited cardiovascular complications.
    • 70% reported cardiac symptoms; 55% had abnormal cardiac examinations.
    • ECG abnormalities were found in 80%, including rare bifascicular blocks (15%).
    • Cardiac X-ray showed abnormalities in 70%, primarily pulmonary fibrosis (55%).
    • Echocardiograms revealed abnormalities in 45% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiovascular complications are highly prevalent in progressive systemic sclerosis.
    • Non-invasive cardiological assessments are effective in identifying a wide range of cardiac issues in PSS patients.
    • The study highlights the importance of regular cardiac monitoring in managing PSS.
