Abstract: Cardiovascular pathology and related complications (heart attack,stroke, sudden coronary death) in patients with systemic scleroderma (SSD) are one ofthe most common causes of early death in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, despitethe constant improvement of diagnostic and treatment methods. Heart disease occursin 15-35% of cases of SJS. Manifested by heart failure, rhythm disturbances, painsyndrome. In rare cases, mitral heart failure develops, including mitral stenosis [19].In SSc, primary cardiac involvement may occur predominantly with changes occurringin the myocardium, pericardium, and heart valves. Mortality from cardiovascularcomplications in SSc is 29% [2].
