Pulmonary Circulation on the Crossroads Between the Left and Right Heart in Systemic Sclerosis A Clinical Challenge for Cardiologists and Rheumatologists
Involvement of the right heart-pulmonary circulation system in systemic sclerosis is a typical feature, with critical prognostic implications. Pulmonary hypertension may occur in association with interstitial lung disease or as a result of an isolated pulmonary vascular disease that may affect both...

| Tartalmi kivonat: | Involvement of the right heart-pulmonary circulation system in systemic sclerosis is a typical feature, with critical prognostic implications. Pulmonary hypertension may occur in association with interstitial lung disease or as a result of an isolated pulmonary vascular disease that may affect both the precapillary arterioles and the postcapillary venules, as well as a consequence of involvement of the left side of the heart. These apparently different phenotypes often underlie a significant pathophysiologic overlap, which makes the diagnosis and management of these patients highly complex and uncertain. |
