Primary heart involvement associated with SSc (SSc-HI) can be assessed via cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), a sensitive method that evaluates morphology, function, and tissue characteristics indicative of microvascular dysfunction, inflammatory, and fibrotic changes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between SSc-HI evaluated by CMR after cold stress protocol and the peripheral vasculopathy assessed by nailfold capillaroscopy in SSc patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional exploratory study including 40 SSc patients was performed. CMR measured morphology, function, and strain. SSc-HI CMR vasculopathy-related lesions were evaluated by perfusion defects and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR); fibrosis-related lesions were evaluated by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS), and biventricular failure. The following parameters were evaluated via videocapillaroscopy: mean capillary\/mm, giant capillaries, avascular score, and the presence of a late scleroderma (SD) or non-late SD pattern.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      SSc-HI on CMR was observed in 22 (55%) patients. Vasculopathy and fibrosis-related lesions were observed in 15 (37.5%) and 8 (20%) patients, respectively.
