Role of exercise stress echocardiography in systemic sclerosis: pathophysiological and prognostic significance of the systemic sclerosis with a heart failure and preserved ejection fraction phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are common cardiac complications of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Exercise stress echocardiography is often used in symptomatic patients with SSc to detect abnormal increases in pulmonary pressures during exercise, but the pathophysiologic and prognostic significance of exercise stress...
