文摘

In SSc patients the severity of capillaroscopic damage is correlated to the skin perfusion. Mean hand perfusion and proximal-distal gradient are significantly lower in SSc patients with new DUs than without DUs. LDPI indices are a useful tool in the identification of SSc patients at high risk of developing DUs.
