Zusammenfassung

Objectives: The mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease, an overlap syndrome characterized by combinations of clinical features of systemic lupus erhytematous, systemic sclerosis, polymiositis and rheumatoid arthritis and the presence of high titers of circulating of autoantibodies to nuclear RNP antigen. Cardiac involvement is a common finding in MCTD, but often clinically occult Aim of the study: To assess the relationship between flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and left ventricular (LV) myocardial function in asymptomatic patients with overlap syndrome. Methods: 20…
