Research lines Evaluation and characterization of cardiac involvement in patients with Systemic Sclerosis. Cardiac involvement is one of the most serious internal organ involvements and the leading cause of death in SSc patients. The prevalence is 14% by clinical observation and even higher by autopsy Many SSc patients with cardiac involvement are asymptomatic or underdiagnosed. The condition may progress silently to overt clinical manifestations, including systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, myocardial ischaemia, myocardial hypertrophy, heart failure, pericardial effusion and arrhythmias. Early detection of cardiac abnormalities is therefore very important. We evaluate cardiac involvement by echocardiography, MR, SPECT, and coronary CT. IP: Carmen Pilar Simeón i Aznar, Vicenç Fonollosa Pla Specific Antinuclear antibodies of scleroderma as markers for different clinical patterns. We want to establish the relationship between the presence of specific autoantibodies for scleroderma (anti-centromere, anti-topoisomerase 1, anti-polymerase III, anti-U3 RNP, Anti-Th/To, Anti-Pm/Scl, anti-Ku) with the different demographic and clinical features as well as with the disease prognosis. IP: Carmen Pilar Simeón i Aznar, Vicenç Fonollosa Pla Genetic basis of scleroderma. With this study we aim at studying the genetic background of the disease to deepen in its pathogenesis to be able to establish links between genetic variations and different clinic-biologic patterns. This research is based on a multicentric study and it is led by Prof. Javier Martín from the "Instituto López-Neyra" of Parasitology, CSIC (Granada). We contribute to it by sending samples from our cohort of patients along with the clinical data.

This multicentric study includes 14 hospitals with a cohort of 916 scleroderma patients. Its main goal consists in determining both the prognosis factors and the survival of these patients.
