Subclinical right ventricular dysfunction diagnosis in systemic sclerosis.

An editorial addresses subclinical right ventricular (RV) dysfunction diagnosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), focusing on pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a major complication. It highlights the role of echocardiography in detecting early signs of RV dysfunction and PH, using parameters like tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV).
