Tissue Doppler assessment of right ventricular function in female patients with limited form of systemic sclerosis
Background: Cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is often clinically occult. The aim of this study was the evaluation of early subclinical right ventricular (RV) involvement in patients with limited form of systemic sclerosis by tissue Doppler. Methods: Twenty female patients with limited...
