“…In this study, there were no significant differences in some parameters of diastolic function between psoriasis and control group and this compatible with other study likeYalimazer B et al study (40) and reverse to other studies like Hoorak P et al study, that showed different in prevalence of left ventricular dysfunction ( left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was observed in 14 psoriasis patients (60.8) and 3 control subjects (13.4) (P<0.001), all of whom were presented with grade I diastolic dysfunction) and there were a significant association in diastolic parameters between psoriasis and control group (41) and Dattilo G study that found the Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was found in 36.5% patients in the psoriasis group versus 0% in control group, and significant reduction of the E/A ratio was found also for the right ventricle (35) the cause behind this may be due to in this study and Yalimazer B et al study the mean age (41 years) was lower than other study that showed significant difference.…”

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-inflammatory-mediated disease in which its pathogenesis involves an interaction between genetic, environmental, and immunological factors and is characterized by topical skin lesions as well as an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. There is increasing evidence that patients with psoriasis are more associated with cardiovascular disease as compared with the general population. The aim was to assess the cardiac performance in patients with psoriasis and compare with control participants and compare between conventional two dimensional echocardiography and global longitudinal strain changes.Methods: A case control study of 57 psoriasis patients and 57 control participants who attend the Dermatology unit in Marjan medical city between the first of March and the first of June of 2019, were recruited in study. The patients who met the inclusion criteria, invited to do echocardiogram. In echocardiography unit, the participant's age, duration of disease and sex was recorded and echocardiography done using conventional and 2 dimension STE. Student T tests and ANOVA test were used to found the mean difference in echocardiograph measurement between patients and control participants.Results: There were a no significant difference in conventional parameter between the psoriasis patients and the controls. There was a statistically significant difference in Global longitudinal strainbetween the psoriasis patients and the controls. Global longitudinal strain is decreased by prolong or increase disease duration. Conclusions:The speckle tracking echocardiography techniques was useful noninvasive, reliable and non-expensive tool for detection of subtle myocardial deformation in patients with psoriasis.

“…Echocardiography is one of the simplest and most noninvasive techniques used for the diagnosis of subclinical heart disease. SLE now has a higher prevalence in patients with cardiac abnormalities than was previously reported; many of them were clinically silent and without manifestations of SLE activity ( 11 - 13 ).…”

BackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective-tissue disease involving multiple organs and systems. Some evidence has demonstrated that disease activity could be associated with increased risk of organ damage.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the association between systemic lupus erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) scores and subclinical cardiac involvement.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 45 SLE patients (88% female; mean age: 31.2 ± 8.2 years) from 2011 to 2013 in Mashhad, Iran. The patients had no clinical signs and symptoms of cardiac problems or risk factors for cardiovascular disease and were selected consecutively. All patients underwent complete echocardiographic examinations (using two dimensional (2D) tissue Doppler and 2D speckle tracking). Disease activity was evaluated by using the SLEDAI.ResultsPatients with higher SLEDAI scores had higher pulmonary artery pressure rates (r = 0.34; P = 0.024; 95% CI (0.086 to 0.595)) and SLE durations (r = 0.43; P = 0.004; 95% CI (0.165 to 0.664). The correlation between disease duration and left ventricular mass was also significant (r = 0.43; P = 0.009; 95% CI (0.172 to 0.681)), even after adjusting for age (r = 0.405; P = 0.016). There was no correlation between SLEDAI scores or disease duration and the left/right ventricle systolic function parameters. This was true while assessing the right ventricle’s diastolic function. A statistically significant correlation was found between mitral E/E’ as an index of left ventricle diastolic impairment and the SLEDAI scores (r = 0.33; P = 0.037; 95% CI (0.074 to 0.574)) along with disease duration (r = 0.45; P = 0.004; 95% CI (0.130 to 0.662); adjusted for age: r = 0.478; P = 0.002).ConclusionsEchocardiography is a useful noninvasive technique for screening subclinical heart problems in SLE patients. Although disease activity in general should suggest a closer follow-up, regular scanning would enable earlier detection of cardiovascular involvement and should not be confined to cases with higher SLEDAI indices or longer disease durations.

“…Patients with SLE myocarditis may have global or segmental wall motion abnormalities by 2D echo and low systolic Tissue Doppler imaging velocities of the mitral annulus [ 6 , 49 ]. Impaired biventricular myocardial strain by speckle tracking has also been reported to be suggestive of subclinical myocardial dysfunction [ 50 , 51 ]. Impaired LV longitudinal strain values correlated with a more advanced degree of diffuse fibrosis by CMR T1 mapping [ 52 ].…”

Echocardiography in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cardiovascular Complications

et al. 2020

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are systemic diseases frequently affecting the heart and vessels. The main cardiovascular complications are pericarditis, myocarditis, valvular disease, obstructive coronary artery disease and coronary microcirculatory dysfunction, cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension. Echocardiography, including transthoracic two and three-dimensional echocardiography, Doppler imaging, myocardial deformation and transesophageal echo, is an established and widely available imaging technique for the identification of cardiovascular manifestations that are crucial for prognosis in rheumatic diseases. Echocardiography is also important for monitoring the impact of drug treatment on cardiac function, coronary microcirculatory function, valvular function and pulmonary artery pressures. In this article we summarize established and evolving knowledge on the role of echocardiography for diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular abnormalities in rheumatic diseases.
