The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

A CASE OF ANEURYSM OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE. [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1898
Recently Dr. W. H. Witt, Demonstrator of Anatomy, found in the body of a colored woman of about 25 years, the cardiac aneurysm shown in Fig. 1. The surface of the heart was covered with shaggy fibrin of a recent pericarditis, but whether or not this was the cause of death we have been unable to learn, as the body was of the "resurrected" variety and we

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.
