Role of 2D strain in the early identification of left ventricular dysfunction and in the risk stratification of systemic sclerosis patients

BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune chronic disease characterized by diffuse fibrosis involving several organs, including heart. Aim of our study was to analyze left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation, by use of 2D strain, in asymptomatic SSc patients with normal LV ejection f...
