Primary heart involvement (pHI) is a severe but often overlooked complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), linked to heart failure, arrhythmias and mortality. In a study of 600 patients from the Italian SPRING‐SIR registry, 25% had ECG or echocardiographic signs of pHI at baseline, associated with older age, diffuse skin disease and intestinal symptoms.
