The correlation between retinal microvascular changes by optical coherence tomography angiography and nailfold capillaroscopic findings in patients with systemic sclerosis
The nailfold capillary density measured by NFC positively correlates with the retinal VD measured by OCTA, suggesting that NFC could be a valuable marker for retinal vessel involvement in SSc patients. In addition, our results highlight the importance of combining OCTA with NFC for diagnosing and monitoring microvascular changes in SSc patients.
