First‐line diagnostic tests to intercept primary heart involvement in systemic sclerosis: Clinical associations from the SPRING‐SIR registry

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
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.
