[Interstitial lung disease (ILD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc)].
Intersitial lung disease is a frequent complication of systemic sclerosis that often has a poor pognosis and together with pulmonary arterial hypertension are the most common cause of death in scleroderma patients. For detection and evaluation of interstitial lung disease, high-resolution CT and pulmorary functional tests are pivotal. The decision about whether to start treatment is often the m...
متن کاملEvaluation of early myocardial damage in systemic sclerosis (SSc): a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study
Background Cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is mainly characterised by diffuse myocardial fibrosis and impairment of the microcirculation; even if clinically silent, it is increasingly recognized to be responsible for higher morbidity and mortality rate. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the most accurate non-invasive method able to detect myocardial inflammation and fib...
متن کاملSTAT4 rs7574865 polymorphism and the susceptibility of systemic sclerosis (SSc)
Previous study suggested that signal transducers and activators of transcription-4 (STAT4) rs7574865 polymorphism may play an important role in susceptibility to Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) in Chinese. However, no further study was conducted to confirm this result. Thus, we did a case-control study. 174 SSc patients and 202 controls were enrolled in this study. When the STAT4 rs7574865 polymorphis...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography evaluation of pulmonary arterial vasculopathy in Systemic Sclerosis
Our current understanding of the pathophysiology of pulmonary vascular disease is incomplete, since information about alterations of the pulmonary vasculature in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is primarily provided by autopsy or tissue specimens. The aim of this study was to compare the distal pulmonary vasculature of <2 mm in diameter in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) patients with (n = 17) a...
