Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy in Systemic Sclerosis–related Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Systematic Literature Review

Objective. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is one of the leading causes of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Current screening algorithms are hampered by low positive predictive values. Outcome measures that could add to performance characteristics would be welcome. We aim to evaluate the role of nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) using standardized definitions, in SSc-related PAH (SSc-PAH). Methods. A systematic review to identify...
