A case of CREST syndrome associated with sick sinus syndrome.
Cardiac manifestations of the CREST syndrome or limited systemic sclerosis (ISSc) are very rare. We report a case of CREST syndrome associated with sick sinus syndrome. Histopathology of cardiac muscle revealed fibrotic changes, suggesting that such changes may be pathogenetically related to CREST syndrome.
