Association of exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension with nailfold capillary density in systemic sclerosis: a single-center retrospective observational study
In our study, 44.0% of patients with SSc and exercise intolerance exhibited exercise PH, with many potentially having HFpEF. Decreased nailfold capillary density, exertional dyspnea, and palpitations were indicative markers useful for exercise PH screening.
