[Cardiac involvements in scleroderma: study with echocardiography and cardiac Doppler in 38 patients].
A study of heart lesions has been conducted in 38 patients with systemic sclerosis using echocardiography, doppler and colour doppler. Abnormalities were found in 66% patients. Valvulopathies (mainly mitral regurgitation) were the most frequent lesions (45%). The presence of anti-SCL70 antibody was correlated to right cavities dilatation. Pulmonary hypertension was found in 6 patients.
