Ab0680 naifold Videocapillaroscopy Pattern Correlates With Organ Involvement and Disease Outcome in Systemic Sclerosis: A Single-Center Observational Study
Abstract:BackgroundSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by systemic autoimmunity, vasculopathy and fibrosis. Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a safe method to detect and to analyze morphological microvascular abnormalities in SSc patients. There is circumstantial evidence to suggest an association between NVC abnormalities and disease severity, particularly vascular manifestations.1
ObjectivesTo evaluate the association of NVC patterns with demographic, clinical, laboratory features and disease progression in… Show more
