Pulmonary hypertension in patients with Sjögren's syndrome: Gender differences in cardiovascular risk factors and instrumental data
The low prevalence of PH (1.6 %) in SS patients when diagnosed with RHC emphasizes the importance of using accurate diagnostic methods. As male patients demonstrated a greater predisposition to developing PH, as evidenced by altered respiratory function, and early diastolic dysfunction, regular echocardiographic monitoring is recommended for male SS patients, particularly those exhibiting early structural or functional cardiac changes.
