Capillaroscopic insights: exploring the connection between microvascular changes and pulmonary manifestations in systemic sclerosis
The study demonstrates that progressive microvascular damage in SSc, as visualized by NVC, correlates strongly with the severity of systemic complications. Early detection of capillary loss and neoangiogenesis using NVC is critical for timely interventions, which could improve patient outcomes by mitigating the progression of ILD and PAH.
