Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystemic chronic disease that is complicated by protein–energy malnutrition (PEM). Considering that PEM also may influence left ventricular mass (LVM), the aim of this study was to evaluate whether LVM is related to patients’ nutritional status and to determine clinically relevant features of SSc. Adult patients referring to our institution were considered. Body weight, height, body mass index (BMI),...
