Signs and symptoms of arrhythmias or conduction defects are frequently reported
in patients with SSc. These rhythm disorders may have several origins (i.e.,
related to primary heart involvement, pericardial disease, valvular regurgitation
or pulmonary arterial hypertension) and may negatively affect the overall
prognosis of these patients. It is therefore important to identify patients at
high risk for cardiac arrhythmias with a complete cardiological evaluation and to
identify the underlying heart disease, including SSc-related myocardial
involvement. In addition, some therapeutic options in SSc patients may differ
from those recommended in other populations.
