Evaluation of changes in cardiac longitudinal strain rate in patients with systemic sclerosis undergoing iloprost treatment: an observational study
Iloprost administration improved GLS, suggesting that the increase of myocardial perfusion allowed, at least in part, a correction of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings, further exploring the mid/long-term effects of Iloprost on myocardial contraction.
