title: Utility of indium-111-antimyosin scintigraphy for diagnosis of myocardial damage in systemic sclerosis.
abstract: The diagnosis of myocardial disease related to systemic sclerosis is often difficult, but it is clinically relevant since the occurrence of a specific ventricular dysfunction is of poor prognosis. This article reports a case of systemic sclerosis with a subacute episode of myocardial disease assessed by 111In-antimyosin antibody, a specific marker of the necrotic myocardial fiber.
