Prognostic value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with systemic sclerosis
Abstract
Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe rheumatic disease of the interstitial tissue, in which heart and lung involvement can lead to disease-specific mortality. Our study tests the hypothesis that in addition to established prognostic factors, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters, particularly peak oxygen uptake (peakVO 2 ) and ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/VCO 2 )-slope, can predict survival in patients with SSc....
