Key Words	Systemic sclerosis; Cardiac involvement
Core Tip	The prevalence of primary cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is difficult to determine, as it can manifest as myocardial damage, fibrosis of the conduction system, pericardial and valvular disease. When clinically manifested, cardiac involvement is thought to be an important prognostic factor. Echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are sensitive techniques for earlier detection of structural and functional SSc-related cardiac pathologies. Screening for subclinical cardiac involvement provides an opportunity for early diagnosis and treatment, which is of crucial importance for a positive outcome.
