SAT0507 Implantable loop recorder can screen for incidental significant arrhythmias in scleroderma, with cardiac mri ecv and troponin biomarker, useful for risk stratification

Abstract

Background: Cardiac involvement and in particular conduction abnormalities represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). No studies assessed the value of implantable loop recorder (ILR) for early detection of arrhythmias in asymptomatic patients with SSc; or whether cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features associate with arrhythmias. Objective(s): To assess the prevalence of conduction abnormalities over a 3 year period using an ILR (REVEAL) and evaluate relationship with disease phenotype, cardiac biomarkers and CMR in SSc patients. Method(s): 20 patients(pts) with ACR/EULAR criteria for SSc, with no history of cardiovascular (CV) disease and
