    Cardiac involvement affects 70% of patients with progressive systemic sclerosis, necessitating comprehensive diagnostic methods. Early detection of conduction and rhythm disorders is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Rheumatology
    • Internal Medicine

    Context:

    • Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is a complex autoimmune disease.
    • Cardiac involvement is a significant but often underdiagnosed complication of PSS.
    • Previous literature reports varying prevalence rates of cardiac issues in PSS.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the prevalence and diagnostic necessity of cardiac involvement in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis.
    • To compare cardiac findings in PSS with other connective tissue diseases.
    • To explore potential therapeutic interventions for cardiac complications in PSS.

    Summary:

    • Seventy percent of 17 progressive systemic sclerosis patients exhibited cardiac involvement via electrocardiography (ECG), chest X-ray, 24-hour Holter monitoring, and echocardiography.

  • All four diagnostic methods were deemed essential for comprehensive cardiac assessment in PSS.
  • Conduction and rhythm abnormalities were notably more frequent in PSS patients compared to controls with mixed connective tissue disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

    • Impact:

    • This study highlights a higher prevalence of cardiac involvement in PSS than previously reported.
    • It underscores the importance of utilizing multiple diagnostic modalities for accurate cardiac assessment in PSS.
    • Findings suggest calcium channel blockers as a potential novel therapeutic avenue for managing cardiac complications in PSS.
