The Systolic Pulmonary Arterial Pressure Liaises Impaired Cardiac Autonomic Control to Pro-inflammatory Status in Systemic Sclerosis Patients

The current study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with higher systolic pulmonary arterial pressures (PAPs) present a blunted cardiac autonomic modulation and a pro-inflammatory profile. Thirty-nine SSc patients were enrolled (mean age 57 ± 11 years). ECG...
