Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Whether some electrocardiographic markers of arrhythmias predispose to early cardiogenic death in SSc remains controversial. This study evaluated the occurrence of previously reported as well as unstudied markers of repolarization in patients with SSc and assessed their prognostic implications.
