Objectives Nailfold video-capillaroscopy (NVC) is an inexpensive method of assessing
microcirculation. We reviewed the literature to assess whether changes to the nailfold …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents one of the main clinical expressions of
the vascular changes in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Lung microvascular changes can play a …

Abstract Background Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a valuable tool in the differential
diagnosis of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP), present in certain Rheumatic diseases (RD) …

Background Microvascular changes play a decisive role in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and
occur early in the course of the disease. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents …

The study of the structure and function of the microcirculation in hypertension has always
fascinated the scientific community and currently remains a principal area of interest in …

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be based on idiopathic pulmonary arterial
hypertension (iPAH), connective tissue diseases such as systemic sclerosis (SSc-PAH), left …

Aim: Endothelial dysfunction plays a significant role in the etiology of coronary artery
disease (CAD), which develops due to atherosclerosis, and is a major cause of morbidity …

Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) changes in systemic sclerosis (SSc) are correlated with
vascular complications, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), supporting a …

Systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH) is a leading
cause of mortality in SSc. The extent of peripheral microvasculopathy assessed through …

Objective. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is one of the leading causes of death in
systemic sclerosis (SSc). Current screening algorithms are hampered by low positive …
